quote: Those wanting "coverage" for "pre-existing" conditions aren't wanting "insurance," they're wanting someone else to pay their medical bills. let's say you want to change jobs. when you leave Company A, your insurance ends. Then you can't get covered at Company B for an issue that arose during your employment with Company A. solve that one.
