The rest of your post is stuff that you personally think will happen

No its about what's already happened, and what is in the law.

Isn't it cool that in a short time, overnight, there will no longer be "pre-existing conditions"?

That's another way of saying isn't universal coverage cool. Its not so cool, because it increases costs, and then drives problematic measures to contain them. Also it isn't what the PPACA does, since it does not provide universal coverage. Those who pushed it for the most part don't even bother to claim that it does. They make extravagant and unlikely claims about the expansion of coverage, but even if those claims where correct there would be many people left without coverage (at least some of whom would have lost coverage because of the law). And some of those uncovered people with have preexisting conditions.
