Problem is there is no way to have those high risk pools now. Nobody is saying everyone has a right to insurance, but there are those who need it and want it. If you had cancer why should an insurance company cover you? They shouldn’t so then what?
Cruz called Trump a socialist like Bernie, what is his solution?
Why not? The only thing preventing them is Obamacare.

And??? Just because you need and want something doesn't mean someone else is required to give it to you, especially if that would be at a cost to them. I think if the market is allowed to work, there can be options to protect most people from major medical expenses at a reasonable cost. But this idea that we should be able to have insurance to pay for every medical need from a cold to major surgery, and that the cost of the insurance should not reflect the actual risk the customer represents is ridiculous.

If I decided not to get insurance and then got cancer, an insurance company should not be forced to pay my bills. Insurance is basically a bet - I am betting that at some point I will have medical needs that will cost enough to justify the cost of the insurance - the insurance company is betting that overall, the cost of paying for the medical care of their customers will be less than they receive in premiums. But if I have not been paying premiums, how is is right to tell the insurance company they MUST pay my bills?
Now, if you are saying that insurance companies should not be able to cancel your policy once you get sick (except for non-payment), then I would strongly agree.
