The pre existing conditions argument is stupid to begin with. First of all, there may be a lot of people with "pre existing conditions" but that's not the same as being uninsurable. Only people who have chronic AND severe problems would be considered uninsurable by a company.
And second of all, why shouldn't people who drain more out of the system have to pay more into it? I understand it sucks to be born with a genetic illness and have to pay more insurance, but you're also costing everyone in the market more money. Its the sad reality we have to deal with and until we find to train doctors as easily as we train fry cooks, healthcare will never be entirely "affordable" to everyone.
High risk drivers pay a fuck ton more or don't get insured at all, why shouldn't it be the same for other types of insurance?
Insurance is literally just that, insurance against an event that may occur. If the risk of an event occurring is higher, why shouldn't the consumer pay more? Or why should the company(or government) be forced to take the risk at all?
If medicine were market-priced this wouldn't even be a question, because INSURANCE would be used as intended, as a hedge against catastrophe, not a way of dealing with a system that's designed around bilking people.
I don't think it's fair for people who have 'undeserved' conditions to pay more, but with preventable conditions, yes, you absolutely should pay more. Greasy obese fat fucks don't deserve to be subsidized. Neither do people chugging sodas until their foot falls off. Or drug addicts with AIDS.
People with undeserved conditions should pay more too, why shouldn't they? If I have the same carrier as someone who is always 6 inches away from death due to no fault of his own, why should I have to pay more just to offset his risk? It's not his fault sure, but it's really not mine and shouldn't be my responsibility.

Biden even implied that being pregnant was an uninsurable pre-existing condition. How ridiculous.

Yep. It shouldn't be called insurance, more of a 'preventative health maintenance coverage'.
Because letting things proceed naturally like that makes a population grow stronger and that's something we just can't allow.
What? I totally agree with him.
