If they can't afford it how are they going to afford it once the bill is passed?
If it's because they have a pre-ex they will then be eligible but their premiums will be higher than someone who doesn't.

Damn...if you work in the industry, you should know why they dont have insurance now.
Its simple....because they work for small businesses where subsidized insurance is not offered. It has little or nothing to do with pre-existing conditions or adverse selection. These are hard-working people in the prime of life who cant afford insurance on the current open market.
The intent of the Insurance Exchange is to offer affordable insurance to these workers, individually or pooled through a larger group of employers .
And you are sill are dodging the question of how these millions of hard working folks are "high risk" by continuing to raise the red herring of pre-existing conditions.
