Question

Suppose in a given state's new insurance marketplace, with community rating and no restrictions on who can buy at the community rate, the risk pool (distribution of expected health costs) is as follows:

20% of eligible enrollees' expected health costs = $1,000 (per year)

50% of eligible enrollees' expected health costs = $2,000

10% of eligible enrollees' expected health costs = $3,000

20% of eligible enrollees' expected health costs = $6,000                                

What would the community premium rate for this risk pool be if we also assume 10% loading costs for the insurer to cover its admin costs.
