The product is good if it is good before you know whether you'll get sick or not. I agree that in principle, not denying coverage for preexisting conditions is antithetical to a free market solution.

Hence I suggested it as an emergency bill, while a permanent solution is negotiated. But negotiated from a position of strength, where the insurance companies are the ones afraid for their future.


It doesn't work that way

Insurance companies have a warchest

You f*** em over enough, they close up shop, fire all of their employees and start a new venture

Net result is you've made 100k people lose their jobs and the CEOs and board members have not paid any price besides the minor inconvenience of 'gotta start a new enterprise', plus healthcare is less available to everybody

The only way to hold the cards is if you can pin the people of a company down, specifically its top ranks. Which is unbelievably hard without straight up just ignoring law. If you have any suggestions for how congress can pull this off without being unconstitutional, we're all ears.
