What is it? Ending insurers’ right to ban pre-existing conditions. Period.
Puzzle it out. As a parallel, I suggest looking at civil rights. It is the discrimination which must be eliminated in order to enact reform.
Unless discriminatory practices are illegal, the rest doesn’t matter. Period. Insurers understand this. The public option, lifetime caps, premium subsidies, single payer, and other reforms discussed to death this year do not matter.
As long as there is discrimination, there is not reform. As long as insurers are permitted to cherry-pick their pools, there is no reform.
Nothing else matters. Only that.
If pre-existing conditions become a thing of the past, you can project the next chapter pretty easily. Insurers will become the greatest champions of single-payer health care you’ve ever seen.
Let’s keep our eye on the ball.
