insurance before you get covered for a pre-existing condition

It baffles me how they are both trying to hurt the ones that need it the most

For romney, if you lose your job, and were covered by health insurance they have to cover you for pre-existing conditions. However, if you didn't have insurance and have a preexisting condition, you are screwed.

For the Democrats, if you lose your job, you have to wait 6 months before you will be covered by health insurance for pre-existing conditions.

The Democrats version is only better because if you survive without insurance for 6 months, you can eventually be covered. In repukes say if you didn't have insurance and have a pre-existing condition you will never be covered

Both sides however, go out of their way to penalize those that need it the most
