How did pre-existing conditions get covered prior to Obamacare?
Apparently in many instances people with preexisting conditions couldn’t get coverage at all, or had to pay outrageously high premiums on their coverage to defray the added costs the insurance companies knew they were taking on in writing the coverage - at least that’s what the big cry was in selling Obamacare - the analogy was always “you can’t wait to get homeowner’s insurance when your house is on fire - either you won’t get any or you’ll pay through the nose for the coverage” - apparently buying through a group plan or pool coverage would help lower the cost, but it was still disproportionately high compared to what Obamacare produced.....
Quite often it wasn't.
