Of course insurers can't legally drop people for developing the kinds of conditions they are covered for. As I said previously, they find other pretexts to drop people. And I've never heard of a single case of their dropping someone on one of those pretexts BEFORE that person became ill.

Of course all for-profit insurers want to minimize the amount they pay out on claims. Which is one good reason why you and I agree (I believe) that it is folly to rely solely on private insurers and the "free market" to manage the provision of healthcare.
