When a majority of states, including Indiana, declined to participate in setting up [high-risk] pools, which cover those with high-cost, existing conditions, the task fell to HHS. As widely reported, it went poorly, with costs far above predictions and only a tiny fraction of the expected population signing up. If the feds can't manage this little project, what should we expect if they attempt it on a scale hundreds of times larger and more complex?
