I doubt seriously they could afford that.

As for blaming

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.
