Not really. You haven’t considered the fact that those who have pre-existing conditions and take daily medications and see doctors more frequently will not have the luxury of waiting until an emergency to get health insurance.

They are more likely going to lose the private insurance that they now have and be forced to sign up for the government plan immediately. Diabetics for example require daily medications and frequent lab work. So in essence the irresponsible people that have rare diseases or diabetes will be paying right from the get go and the younger, healthier more responsible people can wait until they have a medical emergency.

This doesn’t make sense to me. First you said that some people with pre-existing conditions won’t be able to wait to get health insurance, which implies that they don’t have insurance now, then you said these people are going to lose the private insurance they have now. That implies that they do have insurance now. You need to rethink what you’re trying to say and clear up your conflicting statements.
