Sounds like a great plan until you attempt to get the HC insurance companies to go alongg with it.
They'll tell you that they don't WANT to accept people with pre-existing conditions because they KNOW they're going to lose money on those clients.[/QUOTE]
All that means is that those with pre-existing conditions must pay a little more to get in... Along with everyone else.
There's dirty little secret that the Dems who seem to be pushing this just don't want to talk about. EVERYONE ELSE pays a little more to cover the pre-existing conditions, a little more to cover the uninsured, a little more to cover the drugs needed for everyone else, a little more for those who could already get insurance but have chosen not to.
All of the costs are still going to come in for the 40 million newly insured. Someone is going to pay for it and Uno Who is the likely candidate.
A good question is, "How much is the average premium for those already insured and paying premiums going to rise under whatever plan we are discussing?"
