Do you think that's fair? That if, 25 years from now, I develop arthritis in a hip, the insurance company should not have to cover it?.
You are more prone to develop arthritis because of titanium in your knee and although you should not be refused coverage for future arthritis treatment you certainly should pay a higher rate than someone without a titanium knee.

You seem to think setting up these exchanges was magic, free or that the Department of Health and Human Services is a non-profit charity. True fellow citizens of KY will ultimately be responsible for subsidizing your care directly I will be subsidizing those whom the government deems deserving of such including Kentuckians.
