> Are you saying that we should only pool risk between people in the same risk bucket?
People should be free to make that choice even though it increases net costs for higher-risk or less-affluent individuals.
> How do you aim to determine the resolution of that risk? Not to mention calculating it accurately?
By allowing private actuaries to make these pricing decisions: skilled organizations will succeed, others will fail.
I'm trying to work out how what you're describing works, first I have to understand you before I can form an opinion on it :)...
Ok, I get how you want to value risk, independent actuaries. I suppose, there's some bias there as insurers might lean on them to adjust the risk to be more favourable to them and as they'll be repeat business, they're likely to comply, but let's assume we find some really honest ones.
So given say a pool of people with similar risk profiles, say young professionals in high earning careers, and you calculate that they're effective risk is the same so you pool them together.
Now, what do you believe an insurer would insure them against? And of the things, what would not take them out of the pool they've been placed in and put them into a different, perhaps smaller pool?
I'm not quite sure you understand what insurance are. You have risk, you don't want to have it, so you pay other people to took that risk away (to some extent). How those people are expected to assess risk? Somehow. That's their problem.
It's like how a hair salon owner evaluates the difficulty of a haircut. And generally, when you want to have simple haircut, but they are gonna charge you extra because Jason Statham is their client, and he has very sensitive and delicate hair ends, each of which requires a careful individual approach... You naturally start wondering what Jason Statham's hair situation has to do with your haircut.
