merely outlawed insurance companies from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions?

Through magical legislation and Unicorn Farts.

Preexisting conditions occur the majority of the time because of the lack of personal responsibility. I have paid for my own health insurance for 20 years to have only start needing it in the past 2 years.
I didn't wait till I was already diagnosed with an illness to prepare for how it will be paid for.

quote:is it a right that I pay for someone that makes poor behavioral choices that lead to exaggerated health care cost? If a junkie continually overdosies, why should I have to pay for it? If a jaywalker keeps getting hit by vehicles , why should I have to cover the cost of that pre-existing condition?

Sadly, before Obamacare the health of Americans was treated with less respect and dignity than that in other developed countries
Respect and dignity?
Seriously where do you get this shite?

Sure, as long as their wasn't a cap on premium cost for a person with a pre-existing condition.

I do not like to dismiss things out of hand. I haven't had time to consider it and must now go to the grocery store. My wife is not too thrilled with my participation here right now.

I've always been able to afford health insurance.
Yet you chose not to pay it. (You've admitted that here before).
Do you not see your own hypocrisy? You chose not to pay for something that you admit you could've afforded, yet you praise a law that forces people to pay for something, even with increasing costs. You are touting a law that YOU WERE GUILTY OF BREAKING A SHORT TIME AGO!! But now it's convenient for you.
Your selfishness is baffling.

Charging people for known risks is part of ...well.. Insurance.
If someone waits until they're sick to get insurance, then you have ... well... Obamacare.

No. Apparently you don't know how insurance works, Which is incredible for a former "CFO". Shame on you
so let me just get this right.
The right hates Obamacare, we have covered that.
But the right also thinks it's A-OK for insurance companies to let people DIE, just because they cannot make enough money from insuring them??
Am I understanding that correctly?
Private business has no place in Healthcare. I know few here agree with that, but it's why we are so backwards in healthcare of our citizens.

I prefer to have what I have now...a great plan that is immune from all of this ACA stupidity.
I'd say that it speaks volumes for a plan when no one that proposed / voted on it uses it while more and more people are being exempted from it since it was implemented.

Apparently you don't know how insurance works either.
