I missed this...

...actually, I agree with you here. There should be a subsidy for coverage of pre-existing conditions - but ONLY under certain circumstances.

For instance, if you've been unemployed and can prove that you weren't carrying health insurance because you couldn't afford it, than there should be a means to help you out.

On the other hand, if you decided that you weren't going to pay for health insurance because you just didn't want to and then something came up, sorry to say, that's your own damn fault. If you make decisions that have terribly negative consequences, it is not Joe Taxpayer's responsibility to clean your mess up for you.

True story: I was out having a few drinks recently with the wife and I overheard young people talking about health insurance. One was bitching about how preexisting conditions should be covered because insurance is too damned expensive.

His bar tab was $50. He could get independant coverage for that amount.

Why is it that in this county we've gotten to the point where some irresponsible behavior is not only expected, but expected to be consequence free?
