that seems to be such an obvious problem that I assume it's been addressed.

Of all the things you've ever posted, that's my personal favorite... <g>

You will recall Obama always argues that what compensates the insurance industry for these changes is the new customers from the mandate...My guess is there's some provision for both the short and the long term.

The influx of new, healthy customers will have an effect short term, perhaps just big enough and long enough for the short-term thinkers to declare it successful and then distract us with a change the subject. But the influx is a one-off event. After that, there is no fresh blood and the basic laws of economics must resume their troubling pace.
