Summary:

Summarizes principles of risk, risk segmentation, and risk adjustment in health insurance. Risk segmentation is the concentration of healthier and sicker persons in different health care plans. Risk adjustment entails correcting for risk segmentation by shifting money from plans with healthier enrollees to those with sicker enrollees.
