One of (the many) things that gets me on these commercials for the healthcare overhaul is the bit about covering pre existing condiditions. Isn’t that like waiting untill you are in an accident and your car is totaled then going and buying insurance to cover the the already totaled car?
Of course if insurance was more affordable, more people would opt in. then the problem wouldn’t exist in the numbers it does now.

Why can’t you buy life insurance for a dead person?
