If insurance companies MUST sell you insurance when you get sick, WHY would anybody BUY insurance when they're healthy?

Hello:

I'm NOT an economist, but that's gonna BANKRUPT the insurance companies, isn't it??  Yes, that's part of the Republican plan..  Read about it HERE.

  • Your question sounds like a lyric from an old Carmen Miranda song: 

    The window she is broken and the rain is comin' in
    If someone doesn't fix it I'll be soaking to my skin
    But if we wait a day or two the rain may go away
    And we don't need a window on such a sunny day.

    Why do you buy auto insurance before you've had an accident? Why do you buy life insurance while you're alive? Same principle - it's not that hard to grasp.

    Hello again, Stu:

    You buy auto insurance because you MIGHT need it..  But, if they let you buy it AFTER you've HAD an accident, that wouldn't be good, would it??  The right wing health care law says the insurance industry MUST sell you insurance AFTER you get sick..  That ain't gonna work, is it???

    If you're sick they mark it up 1,000,000%. You'll have "access" to it, but won't be able to afford it.

    Some folks just might be responsible enough. Imagine that. If you can't we are so doomed, *sigh*. This post was edited by O-uknow at March 8, 2017 9:00 PM MST
