No. Helping those who have drastic illnesses get insurance is being humane. Punishing sick persons because fate gave them a serious illness is evil. Rewarding persons, because they are lucky not to have serious health issues, is being insensitive. Only by the grace of god are we or our loved ones free of serious illnesses.

Canada eh

Being forced to cover someone with pre existing conditions cost ALL OF US higher premiums.

Ask your congressional delegation what their healthcare plan is and how much they pay for it. That's what every American should have, the one WE provide for Congress!

Yes.

I personally want us to move away from a third-party payer system for healthcare, except for catastrophic insurance. Also, tort reform would help. If we did that healthcare costs would go down because The cost for doctors to do business would go down.

It was ridiculous to put into law..now it's an entitlement..we can't get rid of it if we tried..pre-existing isn't a new thing..back in 1996 when I got pregnant..my husband and I weren't married yet..a month after finding out of the pregnancy we got married..we were worried that blue cross blue shield wouldn't cover the pregnancy because it was pre-existing..in the end the insurance company did cover it..the pre-existing argument is nothing new..it's not like Obama invented the term..I say keep Obamacare..let it sink..let all the protesters see what a true disaster it really is..

No, I think President Obama believed everyone, including the young and healthy, would sign up. As we know, they don't.

I believe the notion was a huge mistake to make in the first place. People w/ preexisting conditions are the most expensive people to insure I believe sure it sounds like a good sound bite, but for that soundbite decent cost healthcare was sacrificed for generations.
