That's not the same thing. If you don't have insurance and you break your arm, you can't go to hospital and get a cast. And then buy insurance and claim it.

Insurance was supposed to be something you paid into your whole life incase of a catastrophic/high expense scenario.

Thanks to pre-ex, you can never have or pay for insurance and then get diabetes or AIDS or herpes or hepatitis or smoker's lung or a clogged artory or other self-inflicted problems, go get insurance, and then make them pay for all the treatments.

The federal government solution to this? Force everyone to buy insurance, but then through exceptions and subsidies give everyone who didn't have it an out and thus everyone who already had insurance had their premiums skyrocket and their coverages drop to cover for the lazy deadbeats. This then forces negative consequences onto otherwise responsible people. This is always the end goal of socialism. Equality of outcome instead of opportunities.

Yes, there are a few good arguments for some people with pre-existing conditions to be protected. Of course some kid with a biological defect should be able to transition from his parents health plan to his own. But there are also a whole plethora of disgusting ways to take advantage of that and forcing the Responsibile Middle Class American Tax Paying Citizens to foot the bill for stupid lazy people's terrible life choices is depressing and ANTI-American
