And that means that if the state says "you can only charge X for insurance", and it's still unprofitable, those customers are effectively uninsurable.
I see that as a regulatory issue, but of course, the end result is the same. I'm familiar with services being effectively unavailable as a result of regulation from living in Canada. (Health insurance / not being allowed to buy healthcare).
