"What it means is that if you can't be denied insurance for pre-existing conditions why in hell would you buy insurance until you NEED it?" Umm, because there are more than just chronic diseases? And things called "accidents"? You might have heard of these things. "Why would I pay $1,000/month for health insurance if I can just buy it after I get sick and just pay a $750/year penalty instead?" If you want to be a moron, you will always have the option. It will just cost you more than in the past.
