On The Issue of Pre-Existing Coverage There's Common Ground

NEW HAVEN, CT — Connecticut has passed a number of laws recently that mandate health insurance sold in the Nutmeg state must actually provide coverage for consumers.

Earlier this year, the General Assembly approved and Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed legislation that says insurance companies must cover pre-existing conditions if the Affordable Care Act is overturned by the courts or Congress eliminates it. The bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. It passed the House 114-32 and the Senate 34-2. Sens. John Kissel and Joe Markley were the only votes against it.

Markley is Stefanowski’s running mate. However, a spokesman for Stefanowski’s campaign said no one should read anything into that.

Stefanowski “opposes any efforts to remove coverage for pre-existing conditions,” Kendall Marr, Stefanowski’s spokesman, said.

all will be covered, why not health insurance? I never could understand why people resist this...for if we didn't have 100% health insurance for all, then hospitals / doctors / etc. will have to write off a whole lot more uncollectible bills (people unable to pay these medical bills), which are dispersed among all of us anyways.
