Josh, I am retired and my wife and I have a company retiree policy. We have access to the policy through the company and we have a subsidy from the company. I only had 13 years with my final company so I do not have a full subsidy - but it is close. We pay north of $1500 per month for our family policy out of our own pockets. That is $18,000 - plus the subsidy is well north of $20,000. It is a good policy - but it has a meaningful deductible ($1000 each I think - and then goes 80/20 to I think say $3000). The bottom line is that someone with out financial resources could not afford my policy if it was free. So - if everyone was forced into a uniform pool I assume my costs would go down. I assume the young and healthy would scream to be subsidizing me. Bob
