Where does that leave the rest of us..those with pre-exisitng conditons, those overweight but not obese, smokers and drinkers, couch potatoes....?

Most people get their insurance through their employers and do not have to worry about pre-conditions, etc.. Those of us who buy our own policies have to jump through more hoops and sometimes cannot get insurance. If we make insurance companies take everyone then premiums will go up for everyone. I think if we are going to go to this extreme then we should just provide universal care through the government and take the insurance companies out of the loop.
