People with preexisting conditions COST MORE to insure.

I would assume those without pre existing conditions would see it that way. Hmmm... I have a daughter with a pre existing condition, as do I... I can't even imagine what it would cost to have no insurance for her. Her prescriptions on a monthly basis with insurance were at $250. Plus the price of testing and 3 specialists and reg, dr. every 3 months.

SO has preexisting conditions - and had to pay a lot more when his employer didn't cover it, so I do partially understand. Even so - I don't believe those w/ preexisting conditions should be denied, but I can see how they would have higher premiums.

"SO has preexisting conditions "
Sigh... for the LAST time, JL... a small weiner is NOT a "pre-existing condition".

Confused how? I am helping her out now, without her getting Cobra for $500/month. I would not be able to afford to pick up an extra $500/month to cover Cobra costs.

JL, there are too many instances of the biggest supporters of this outright saying they want single payer. They know they cannot do it outright, so they are phasing it in, little by little. As one insurance company goes under, all clients go to the government option.
The government could write laws to cover dropping people/pre existing conditions. No one who is in this country should not receive healthcare. we are a great country, and we should not leave anyone behind. But that does not mean you give it away freely. There are ways to do this without rewriting the entire system. This is a true case of sacrificing quality for quantity.
