Uhh, no it can't. I've got chronic but non-debilitating conditions that prevent me from purchasing health insurance from free market providers. Even if I don't choose to treat them, I'm necessarily covered in case I DO need to treat them in the future. As such, I'm far outside the normal risk pools, and insurers won't even take my calls.
If I've got cash in my account, I can buy food, cars, and other comsumer products at will. I can't buy insurance unless a government-imposed insurance pool is established. Don't tell me there's no difference or that it's simple. You don't have a clue what you're talking about.
