There should be a grandfathering provision for existing medical conditions, but new medical conditions should be covered by voluntary insurance or Medicaid.
Based on what provision of the U.S. Constitution does the federal government have the authority to mandate that a private enterprise provide insurance to anybody? I mean other than a heavily bastardized interpretation of Article I Section 8 "commerce clause" . Strikes me as both unconstitutional and immoral for the federal government to tell any individual or private enterprise that they MUST sell their services to anybody or face punishment, let alone forcing them to sell their services at an artificially deflated price and thereby increase the prices for everybody else (aka just another form of theft).
Let the market devise a system for offering those with "pre-existing conditions" insurance at rates that are justified by the actuarial risks.
