“There needs to be some provision to ensure everyone can buy insurance if they choose to and to ensure they can keep that insurance even if they get sick”
You are right, and the provision is not new or not the law already in all states, except for the matter of babies with known conditions.
To explain, these people believe one can just lay around, get sick, then get affordable insurance. That is not only true, Obamacare specifically demands that most everybody purchased insurance from the get-go.
They are trying to reach for something, anything, that they can cast this bill as not a creation of industry but an imposition on it. They are having a crisis of faith of sorts.
Check out the chat boxes at National Review. Their lunacy is getting funny. They believe government is the antithesis of big business, not its co-conspirator.

I meant that is NOT true.
People cannot lay around and wait until they get sick. And Insurance cos can charge what they want.
The Pre-Existing coverage matter was just Obama BS taking credit for something already existing.
