Yes it’s nice to cover preexisting conditions, but how to pay for it? Either jack up the rates big time to cover the risk. Or make everyone buy insurance (individual mandate) to spread the risk and cost.
Either way, we end up back to where we are now.
“Yes it’s nice to cover preexisting conditions”
No, it’s not.
Wisest words ever said in this debate.
The fact is that the world is not perfect and sometimes crappola happens.
We all need to be FREE to do the best we can to manage our lives the way we see fit. If we end up in a rough patch, that's what friends and charities and bakesales are for.
I'm sorry if that sounds facetious, but it's true. We could do way better taking care of the poor and down and out in society, not to mention our own families and friends, than the government could ever dream of doing.
