Insurance Company Response to Adverse Selection.<\/span><\/p>\n

The insurer company\u2019s response to adverse selection is twofold. Insurance companies will only underwrite prospective risk. The insurer will try to determine the expected level of usage prior to entering into the contract. This risk rating of prospective customers is done either through the use of a questionnaire or a physical exam or a combination of the two. In addition, insurance companies will not provide insurance for known ailments. A preexisting condition is associated with an extremely high probability of use (approaching unity). Without the ability to spread risk, the insurance premium would likely exceed the expected loss. Consumers experience no gain from joining such a risk pool and thus have little demand for this high-cost insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>The failure of the market to provide opportunities for chronically (lifestyle based) and congenitally (genetically based) ill to purchase insurance at average premiums should come as no surprise. The purpose of insurance is to share risk, not wealth. Policymakers, even those not interested in wealth redistribution, have used market failure to justify the provision of social insurance as a safety net. Since the private insurance market cannot provide adequate insurance for those with preexisting conditions, it seems reasonable that the government take on this responsibility by operating and subsidizing high-risk insurance pools.<\/span><\/p>\n

Should the government provide insurance for high-risk individuals with preexisting conditions whether if those conditions are based on genetics or lifestyle?        <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
