Said fat bastard would then be on his own.If that "fat bastard" is in an employee pool, then he's getting a tax deduction on his health insurance, and his higher healthcare costs are affecting me if I'm in his company's pool as well due to the increased premiums needed to cover his increasingly expensive care. In an employer pool, there is little rating by risk, while in the individual market and in other insurance markets, risk is always taken into account which lower premiums for those who are low risk, and increases them for those that are high risk. Until we get everybody onto non-subsidized risk-based individualized insurance, we are implicitly subsidizing the risky in the health insurance markets. |
