Next we can complain about insurance companies refusing to insure 16yr old kids who like to drive drunk.
Bad example. In most if not all US states, auto liability insurance is required and any company doing business in that state can't get out of insuring high risk drivers. Usually, uninsurable high risk drivers go into the state assigned risk pool, and all the companies get their share of premiums and pay their share of losses from that pool. It's another case where government requires them to eat a loss in order to allow them to do business. In the end, the good drivers pay for the really bad ones, the same as low cost telco customers pay for the high cost ones.

But an insurance company can back out of a state. And they can increase premiums across the board or specifically for certain classes (pending regulatory approval).

Someone pays. Every Verizon customer outside of the states being sold benefits from their sale. Everyone inside those states benefit from the sale not happening because they need those deep pockets to keep their slim profit margined phone service running smoothly.
