I doubt seriously they could afford that.

There was very little in the "health care plan" to control costs. They
should have had insurance before the pre existing conditions. I think
insurance companies should have to accept pre existion conditions at no
extra charge if the person already was covered by insurance. Let the 2
insurance companies work out the extra costs. But if someone does not have
insurance and then gets sick and wants insurance, he should pay more. Maybe
a lot more. Covering all pre-existion conditions is sort of like being able
to have no fire insurance on your house, and it burns down. You think that
pre-existing condition should be covered by the new insurance company?
Insurance is spreading the risk over a large group. Sort of like gambling.
You gamble a small amount each month that you will not have to pay a huge
medical bill.
