As a site old-timer, you are probably aware that even the most hardcore self-proclaimed conservatives turn into “gimme gimme gimme” liberals when it comes to pre-existing conditions and health insurance.
What they want is to have their medical care - care that, with a pre-existing condition, has a well-known and predictable value - subsidized by somebody else. If you have diabetes and you will automatically require approximately $5,000 in medical care during the year for that diabetic condition, then your premiums should reflect this. Why they or anybody else think somebody else should pay for this is beyond me.
Tying medical insurance to employment and insulating the patient from both insurance and direct medical costs has been a disaster.
Sure, and they love trucking their children off to BigGov indoctrination factories rather than spend a few more bucks or a little time, and god forbid you tell them you're not cool with their daughter murdering her child if it makes her a little uncomfortable...
