It’s good to get the straw man set up in the first paragraph like that. If he waited, his liberal audience might get confused.
Initial coverage of preexisting conditions is like allowing people to buy home insurance AFTER their house burned down, then expect the insurance company to fully compensate them for their loss.
Obamacare is making big thing about covering preexisting conditions, but that is a one-time thing, then everyone will be obligated to buy insurance, and not what is appropriate for them, such as catastrophic insurance for young people, but a full comprehensive one, that Obama tells you that you should have.
