Quote:That is absolutely silly. If insurance companies cannot reject people for having pre-existing conditions, and there is no mandate that says you have to have health insurance, then people will just wait until they get sick and then apply for health insurance. The insurance companies will be bankrupted.

The part about pre-existing conditions cannot work without the mandate. There has to be a pool of healthy people paying insurance to subsidize the unhealthy people. That's the way insurance works. You can't wait until your house is on fire to apply for fire insurance. Without the mandate, the insurance companies have to be able to reject pre-existing conditions.

This is why it is ridiculous for them to think they think they are going to keep the popular parts of Obamacare and throw out the unpopular parts. They have to either keep the whole thing, or do like they said they were going to do and throw out the whole thing.

There's a middle ground. An insurance company has to cover pre-existing conditions only if the person already has insurance. If you change jobs and switch from one insurance company to another, the new company has to accept you. If you lose your job, then you need to keep up the insurance payments through COBRA.

But flsprtsgod is right. Those problems go away if individuals, rather than corporations, bought policies. A good start would be for medical insurance to be tax exempt. Corporations get to write it off as an operating expense, but individuals don't.

"Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"
