That would be set by the federal government. Same or perhaps slightly lower depending on ability to pay.

The health care entities would then have to compensate by slight inceases in premiums for all non-assigned risk clients. They have a duty to stay profitable.

The average profit margin for HMOs is 3-3.5%. Geogre Soros profit margin has averaged 20% since 1969 and he (and most of the investor-speculator class) produce nothing.
