I dont know what the answer is but the majority of people who do all the working and paying taxes are all two steps away from this type of scenario Yes, you're right, and that's the only reason people react to a 'no pre-existing condition' discussion in healthcare differently than they would react to a 'no pre-existing car condition' discussion by a guy who just totalled his new Mercedes after deciding not to buy collision insurance for it. It's part of the screwed up nature of the current health care system where insurance is tied to jobs. If more people had to buy their own insurance it wouldn't be there in the first place. But from an insurance viewpoint, it has to go hand-in-hand with a mandate that forces people to buy insurance whether they want it or not. Or else anybody would be an idiot to buy insurance until they needed expensive medical services. More rationally, you could extend COBRA until age 65, and figure out how to pay for it. Anything would be a thousand times cheaper than what is currently being proposed.
