Put a large penalty on those with no insurance and a pre-existing
condition. Sort of like buying fire insurance after your house burned
down. If you are going to require the insurance company cover it, then
you better make it possible to recover the excess payouts. If you have
a insurance, make the new insurance company deal with your former as to
payments. We could get a lot more competition in insurance prices with
opening up the market, across state lines, etc. Why should a company
with enough reserves to be an insurance company be banned from selling
in a state?


Well, here's a way to cut costs. Get rid of the "dogs".

The other question is the healthcare bill affordable healthcare, or
affordable insurance? This "healthcare" bill does nothing for lowering
healthcare costs.
