Is is ok for a person to not have insurance and then be diagnosed with an illness or disease that requires lots of money to treat and insurance should have to cover it?
Hey I didn't have insurance on my home, but it burned down to the ground and everything was a total. Now I am going to buy insurance and file a claim on my home that burned down before it was insured...

I would have supported reform that didn't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Depends. Did they have insurance before and had coverage lost for some reason?
Pre-existing conditions is an issue because it can deter people from actually going to the doctor out of fear, but also it doesn't make sense to buy car insurance after an accident and expect it to pay.
I don't know how to solve this problem.

Sorry the godless dem/lib conundrum strikes again as Darwin says "pre-existing conditions" are all part of the plan.

No. Apparently you don't know how insurance works, Which is incredible for a former "CFO". Shame on you.

Not in my book.
So, I see three NO votes here. Good. Such a law would have been nonsensical and would have closed down private health insurance companies.
So, now, what would have been your remedy for people with pre-existing conditions who couldn't afford health care coverage? Just let them die?

No.
People w/ pre-existing conditions could already get insurance before Obamacare. They'd just have to get high-risk policies and pay a much higher premium than healthy people, which is how it should be.

Open competition amongst insurance companies between states, for starters. One of them may come up with a profitable solution.

You think insurance companies would have competed for people with pre-existing conditions?

Yes

Might be a good answer. You would have closed all private insurance companies in this country and the entire population would have been screaming for a government solution.

Yeah they would. Then they get their cake without having to fricking pay.

Wrong. Obama would pay for it all 'from his stash.'
