As I understand it community rating is another factor that drives the cost of health insurance up. I would prefer to pay a premium based on experience rating for my use of medical services rather than a community rated premium. Many states already have high risk insurance pools for those with pre-existing conditions. However, they are often difficult to access and are very expensive. It isn't necessary to create a new government run program when such pools are already available. I think work should be done immediately on reforming these high risk pools so that they can be made more affordable for those who need them. Well written, Jeremy.
