    Michael Cannon, a health care expert at the libertarian Cato Institute, says that the Democratic approach could have unintended consequences. While the law would bar outright rejections of applicants with pre-existing conditions, he said, there's nothing to stop insurance companies from treating such patients poorly, in the hope of foisting them -- and their higher health care bills -- on their competitors. Indeed, Cannon suggests, a failure to act this way could endanger the very economic viability of these insurers.

    "The Democratic bills create such perverse incentives for insurers to offer inadequate care and lousy customer service that sick people with insurance may feel like the bill made things worse," Cannon said.
    Like haz said and its said. but shity coverage is better then no coverage.

    I dont mind paying a higher premium because of it but being unable to get any coverage isnt right either.

    Well this is where I think our system needs to be fixed..... the health insurance company should not be allowed to dictate who lives, dies, gets coverage, doesn't get coverage.....
