I am watching a Romney spokesman talking about how he wants market forces to cover those with pre-existing conditions...
How?
Market forces made it clear after all these years; the only way to maximise profit in health insurance is NOT to cover everyone, and give the least health cover to those who need it most. "Market" can't help people here... The sick and the frail are not profitable to make money from.
Health insurance doesn't profit from having more customers; health insurance profit from not covering sick customers. And yet the Romney spokesman pretended that this isn't the case. I guess he assumes his supporters are too stupid to notice.
