Huckabee is right. It is ridiculous to insist that insurance companies must sell coverage to persons who are already sick, at the same price a person who presents an ordinary risk.

No. The pool remains the same. I’m not sure why this is so hard to understand.

If an insurance company cannot be profitable while actually paying for treatment for sick people, then it is not really a health insurance company.

This, more than anything else, shows the parasitic nature of health insurance companies. They provide nothing. They only take profits out of the system. They only want to take profit. They have no incentive to actually provide service.
