    That’s now how it works. Adding a high-risk pool to a low-risk pool doesn’t lower the overall risk. It averages it. Meaning the lower-risk pool has their costs increased, and the higher-risk pool has their costs decreased. Since the high-risk pool is much smaller than the low-risk pool, merging them is a negative for a larger population.
