“If you have a pre-existing condition and then buy a plan that pays to treat that condition at a premium rate that does not cover the costs of doing so then what you have purchased is not insurance, it is welfare. “

There are many stories of people being dropped from insurance plans once they get a major illness.
In some cases the employers cut them loose to lessen costs.
That was one of the few issues I thought should have been addressed.

You are confusing two separate issues.

One issue is whether an insurer can refuse to sell a policy to someone with a pre-existing condition.

The other issue is under what circumstances an insurer is legally entitled to refuse to continue to insure an existing customer.

Leftists often lump these sorts of disparate issues together in order to confuse people into supporting intrusive, unconstitutional government.

Please do not assist them in doing this.
