“Were you older with heart disease or some other “pre-existing condition” that rendered health insurance unaffordable you might feel differently.”
No insurance company should have to be forced to cover someone with a pre-existing condition. That’s like forcing someone to place a bet on the worst game in the casino. If someone in my community is facing hard times and can’t afford medical treatment, I will be more than happy to donate funds along with others in the community. I am a compassionate person, but when it comes to more taxation, I have to draw the line.
