Where I live health insurance is often provided by employer. Sometimes the employer opts to manage a separate pool of insured people - employees and their families. Such pool is fairly small so if one person comes down with an expensive disease the cost of everyone’s premiums must increase to cover that. Or the employer can just fire the expensive employee and thus keep the premiums low.
