The health legislation authored by House Republicans and set to be unveiled in the next few days reportedly would not prevent health insurance companies for discriminating against patients with pre-existing conditions.
That's not just a stark contrast to Democratic-produced legislation; it puts Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his co-authors at odds with many members of their own party.
some pre-existing exclusions are absurd and should be abolished, like a toddlers weight... however, covering people with serious illnesses/ diseases isn't really 'insurance'... for example, a person with kidney disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. who without question needs medical care... now, if we as a society want to help pay for that person's care by giving them the right to join an insurance plan, fine... but when you know a person requires medical care Beforehand, it moves from 'insurance' to an entitlement or a right.
