Quote from OldTrader:
I think what you mean is that there is no program for pre-existing conditions that is cheap enough. Insurance companies know that with a pre-existing condition they are assured of having to pay out larger than normal sums under the policy, and therefore they have to charge more. Evidently, the only people that do not know this is Congress. Have you heard Obama or Pelosi for instance say anything about the sharp increase in premium that is coming for the average insured who is in good health? Not to mention those poor folks who just can't afford it. The good news is that you'll have a warm, tingly feeling knowing that you have taken care of your brothers yet again, you've spread your wealth around.
