7. Unless the groups were large, they would have the same problem that small businesses had

pre ACA. For a company with a small number of employees had some employee get an expensive illness, their rates would skyrocket because the predicted cost to the insurance company would rise. The ACA solution to this is the fund that Rubio cut funding for. Murray and Alexander have a different approach that does the same thing.

Just not covering preexisting issues will not end this risk. One question is whether they will be required to cover problems that started when they were insured under this plan and whether they have to renew insurance for the ill person.
