This figures since the majority of Americans:
1. Have employer health insurance, or;
2. Could afford insurance were it not for a pre-existing condition, and;
3. Accept the logic of senior Democratic elected officials that pre-existing conditions
cannot be insured by private companies (who else?) unless we FORCE "young and healthy deadbeats"
i.e. the working poor into the pool. (anyone who thinks the uninsured are well-to-do is either naive
or doesn't understand the point of getting the working poor into the pool, which is to cover baby
boomers -- not just pre-existing conditions but to avoid a Europe-style aging collapse).
Forcing people into private health care pools, of course, has nothing to do with "reforming"
health care and only has to do with "reforming" the Insurance industry to the extent that the
Insurance industry agreed to accept limited reforms in return for what they really want which
is mandatory coverage of every man, woman and child by insurance on the MARKETPLACE.
You have nothing to fear.
