We'll see if the free market will actually be reintroduced into the health insurance industry or not. Time will tell if you and I will be able to choose between coverage that does or does not cover Pre-existing, is full boat or just major medical, does or do not cover maternity, etc. etc. etc.

I am not saying it WILL happen. I am just saying it COULD happen.

“Insurance” covering preexisting conditions is not insurance. To the extent that it is sold to a person below the cost of the treatment the condition implies, it is beneficence. Welfare, if you will.

And everyone who lost coverage due to Obamination “Care” lost the coverage their previous insurance company owed them at the time they lost their plan. That insurance company owed that coverage because they bet that that condition would not occur - and lost their bet.

When the Democrats voided that existing policy they stole from the covered individual and gave to the insurance company. Not that the insurance companies seem to have profited by it, overall. Seems like the insurance companies’ best interest was to fold up shop instantly, and pocket the reserves they had accumulated against future claims. Rather than staying in a fool’s game once the rules had been corrupted.
