But the "difference" you stated wasn't really different. I was laying out a ladder of differences. You have individual underwriting for individual insurance. You have underwriting at the pool level for employer-provided insurance. And you have no underwriting in the proposed model. Those are stepwise differences along a path to taking the essence of insurance out of insurance. You can argue if you want that the difference between underwriting employer pools and no underwriting at all is small or doesn't matter but there is definitely a difference.
