Yea, I saw that

Which is part of the reason I wrote what I did because their position is bullshit.

It doesn't account for the death spiral the higher risk pool causes.
Its a superficial analysis, just looking at the people being dropped and not the cumulative effect of smaller risk pools on costs and enrollment.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
