I can't comment on Lane's intent as she may be talking about something else, however, I do think you're no longer talking about health insurance when you can buy it after you get sick. Assuming that we can cover almost everyone under Obama Care, then the vast majority of those that have a pre-existing condition, AND are not insured, will be covered by a one time event. BAM!, it's done. After that, they will be covered forever, they wont by definition have a "pre-existing condition", because they will be insured. And "pre-existing" goes away forever. At the same moment, a whole bunch of healthy people, who don't have insurance, and are not paying anything will be added to the payment pool. Close to balance on the gross cost, cheaper on the net per person cost is my guess. That's Obama Care, like it or leave it <g>.
