I am surprised there is not more of a market of folks with pre existing conditions who can now obtain health insurance at premium costs of a healthy person. I guess many of these folks may already be on Medicaid with the government picking up the tab.

That's largely because the problem has been exaggerated. Many who have pre-existing conditions already have coverage for a lower premium than this expensive guarantee plan. Many who do not have coverage find it easier and less expensive to find free services or pay cash.

Finally, as in other states where there is guaranteed issue plans, the subscribers often wait until they need a procedure or test to actually buy the coverage and drop it once the plan pays for the one necessary procedure.
