Does anyone know how this thing works with regard to pre-existing conditions? The only thing I know is that they can't turn you down due to a pre-existing condition. But how much would insurance cost a person with a serious condition? Qould it be way more expensive than for a healthy person? For example, if a person has cancer and they don't have insurance and their treatments cost $80,000 a year, how much would their premium be if they tried to get insurance? How could an insurance company afford to sell this person a policy for $500 a month, if they know the treatments are going to cost $80,000 a year? Insurance companies are businesses. They're not charities.
