Because the inability to obtain insurance with preexisting conditions is a more dire problem than premium costs

That's your opinion.
How much have you contributed and what have you sacrificed for the benefit of those that have medical needs?
You can skip a vacation or forgo a new car to help these people. You don't have to grow government and force your desires on the rest of the country.
Every time you get your way, I lose some ability to be charitable in areas that I think are important.
Cool with that?
Stop down down voting me , baw.

***News flash*** insurance companies are private entities in the business to MAKE money for themselves and their shareholders. Why would they not charge more for people that are going to cost them more? It's simple economics and capitalism. If you have a problem with this than maybe you set up a federal healthcare system that covers all of those with pre existing conditions and leave the healthy horses to still buy their insurance privately.***
*** we already have a safety net for the poor called Medicaid. Just expand the eligibility to cover those with preexisting conditions that the private sector doesn't want on their books regardless of income level ( high and low).

bullshite. There are already in place Medicaid and Medicare for those that truly need it.

Instead of screwing up the entire insurance market for everyone, people with true major chronic health issues should have just been put on Medicare or Medicaid.
If the government is subsidizing anyway, they should've just straight up insured the bottom 10 percent and left everyone else alone
