this is one of the reasons why they have the individual mandate. health insurers don't want to bail, don't wish to go out of business. it's a huge moneymaker, and there's a reason why health insurance providers stock immediately shot upwards when the scotus ruled that the aca wasn't unconstitutional.
we should have universal coverage-it's one of several glaring flaws in this country, and an embarrassment that other countries do a better job at providing health care than we do.
but hey, how 'bout that stealth destroyer. cool, isn't it?
