You are assuming that everyone added to the plan will automatically require treatment all at once. Why would that be the case. A very large majority, as dc pointed out, are young healthy americans who do not feel the need for insurance. By adding them to the risk pool it will offset the risk that insurance companies will face taking on those with pre-ex's.
