How do you propose to cover those with preexisting conditions?
That is a problem which can only be answered with cost sharing. Kinda like car insurance. Except for one thing, if you don't have the money you don't insure a BMW. But with healthcare, there really isn't a "Hugo" option.
Covering those with a preexisting condition is the number one reason that healthcare insurers are getting out of Obamacare. It is kinda like two people go into McDonalds hungry. One orders 2 cheeseburgers, the other orders 20 cheeseburgers. They then both pay the same. How is the cost for the 22 burgers divided?
In terms of needing healthcare....would you rather be the 2 cheeseburger guy or the 20 cheeseburger guy?
Needing healthcare is not a choice
We are discussing healthcare insurance and cost.
Do you believe someone battling cancer should have to pay ten times the premium of a healthy person, just because they need to eat more cheeseburgers?
I guess fair is that both pay for 11 cheeseburgers? Or that the one buying 2 pays for 22? yeah I know, nothing is fair in life.
Yes paying for 11 cheeseburgers and not needing them is fair
Having cancer is not fair
