Free market capitalism. Interstate health insurance. Gut regulations (which cost billions). Waiting period for preexisting conditions.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

What would you think about allowing “continuous-coverage” exemptions to preexisting condition wait periods? That is, if an individual has carried insurance for coverage of the condition continuously, then one insurance company dumping him or her does not mean the next insurance company can also exclude the individual’s condition.

The initial insurance company, of course, would need to provide SOME coverage - at least 6 months, in my estimate, of the preexisting coverage. Otherwise, the dumping should be considered malicious.

Add tort reform. The cost of legal suits and malpractice insurance is incredible, and too many of the suits are frivolous. Not all; we still need to be able to punish the guilty, but it has become a scam.

And if they have no coverage and they have deadly results from the pre-existing condition?

You’d just have them die?
