and would want more of 's profits, but no insurer (risk assuming health care provider) smaller, post-transfer, than , can assume 's Claims Costs for less than or . Previously clinically efficient providers, accepting capitation from , become inefficient insurers and must cut patient care (See Section 11), or face financial ruin. Even generous reinsurance companies will not accept risks at affordable fees for capitated providers. Reinsurers do not want the risks of high Claims Costs that rejected, because 's benefits come from forcing providers to cut medically necessary and appropriate care. Low cost, low risk provider reinsurance would reduce, or eliminate, capitation induced cuts in needed care, the only benefit (curse) of capitation.
