"Sure but the question was about non-profit health insurance companies. And insurance companies are more susceptible to size-related competitiveness problems than many industries because the risk for an insurance company is directly related to its profitability and the risk is directly related to the size of the pool of people it insurances. Therefore small number of covered individuals == greater risk == lower income certainty (and concomitant higher reinsurance rates)."
Yes. Smaller pool means higher prices which means an even smaller pool. Eventually, this leads to merger or closure and less competition for the consumer.
