"Across the nation, thousands of individuals and businesses are being forced into special plans, as insurers are increasingly turning away those seeking auto, home, and workers' compensation insurance. Existing plans are growing, while new ones are being created. But in some cases, notably medical care, special plans are full, and people are being turned away--with no coverage." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) This article reports on an investigation of government-backed insurance plans focusing on the benefits/risks to consumers and the no-risk profits to the insurance companies that handle administrative tasks.
