Pre-Existing Conditions? By Don Stott
This is further proof that both Republicans and Democrats are, to put it kindly, totally ignorant of some of life’s basic facts, and even common sense. Both sides want it to be compulsory for insurance companies to be forced to insure people with “pre-existing conditions.” Think about that one, with just a grain of common sense or a basic kindergarten knowledge of economics.
If you have a house which is falling down from termites, has a leaky roof, iron plumbing, stopped up septic tank, or whatever, and you approach a home insurance company, wanting full coverage for your house, and they say “you’ve got to be kidding,” should the D.C. Gang force the insurance company to issue you a homeowners policy? If you never cut your grass, never paint, never shovel snow off your sidewalk, and your neighbors consider you a menace, would any insurance company issue you a policy? Both Dems and Repubs might want big daddy government to force them to issue it, assuming the health care thing goes into effect. Why not throw pre-existing conditions out the window for home coverage?
