Dem: Senate has 'gun to our head' on health

Insurance is like gambling. Both sides take a gamble based on risk. For those purchasing insurance they are banking that they'll will need it while the insurance based their risk banking that the person buying it won't need it as much. Insurance companies are there to make money by taking a financial risk on YOU by allowing you to buy their insurance.

Pre-existing conditions shouldn't be factor (that depends on what you have) but they do calculate them into their risk assessment. After all, they are a business. And so, sure, pre-existing conditions shouldn't be a factor at all but it'll cost more for everybody. No such thing as a freebie.

That's what I knew and agree with.

because I think that make law to ban on pre-existing condition or deny or cancellation of coverage are form of government control, it means health insurances has follow the law or could get penalty, that's reason because I was confused about kokonut's post.

Practically everything is a form of government control.
 
That reminds, yes, everything you do, buy or participate has "govt control" written on it whether it's in the form of regulation, price controls, trade deals and so on. There is no getting around "govt control," Foxrac.

Okay, I'm concern about in future, don't know about anything would going be affect on me, if I'm become cancer patient and would going be scare because not know if insurance could deny or cancel my coverage so left me as fatal or getting big medical bills that leading to file for bankruptcy.

I know about medical treatment that based diseases are expensive, especially cancer cases so I think insurance companies should have think so twice, so is government need to think so twice.
