How do you propose we address adverse selection in insurance markets then? That's the part you're overlooking and making you go "Huh?". It's clear to everyone else.

You don't.

Health insurance is intended to mitigate the risk of unexpected high costs, not pay for your normal healthcare.

You're thinking of a healthcare _plan_. Trying to make the insurance model fit where it doesn't work is the root of the vast majority of our issues in the US.
