If insurers end up paying more, won’t they try to roll it into premiums in the long term? Ofc, it’s better if everyone pays a tiny bit more instead on a few getting clobbered.
It's all a shell game, really. All costs get reimbursed one way or another; there is just a lot of cost shifting. Insurers and providers won't just "eat" the loss without making it up somewhere else. If I have to pay a few bucks more for premiums in order to protect myself from massive surprise bills, I'll take it.
