I’m not saying that I agree with the bill or with the preexisting condition clauses as written. I understand that I should have to pay more—significantly more—for insurance. That’s only fair and moral.
But, I should still have access to it by some means.
It seems that someone would insure you at some price. Everyone has a price, even Bart Stupak.
Also, this sort of thing is what community, church, and mutual welfare societys (Elks, Mosses, etc.) are for.
Most people don’t know that, as liberals rationalize that income tax is charity.
