Utter ignorance is correct. Why ever buy insurance for anything if you can just get it AFTER the bad thing happens?

If you keep pre-existing conditions, you must accept the mandate to carry coverage and, by extension, subsidies for the poor.

If you accept those, you might as well go to single-payer.

“Why ever buy insurance for anything if you can just get it AFTER the bad thing happens?”

Because that is really not in the bill. It involves babies, I believe.

the Republicans will support the bill because it is the fascist/compassionate conservative model.

There is no peculiar part of the bill that means it is not anything other than a blowout for the health industry.

My understanding of the bill is that you still have to have had some form of insurance to have your condition covered. It isn’t like you can just walk to the hospital and call your insurance later.

Is this incorrect?
