I would assume the creation of a national risk pool is the thought process.... I have commented on this several times as to the success a nat. risk pool would have.

create the pool, provide about a third of the funding from the public sector a third from the insurance companies via a scale based on the precentage of business you have and the last third coming in the way of the monthly premium....

example: lets say for this example Aetna controls 13% of the market then their part of the subsidy would be 13% and say Cigna has 7% market share then they pay 7%... u get the idea

Why should I pay for Insurance if I can just get when I get sick?

Why should I pay for Insurance if I can just get when I get sick?

in the "peeler plan" there would be the provision of 63 days of contunious coverage. with that no pre x... without it you have a pre x clause for 12 months.

or I could say because you are a good amerkin.....

Romney Campaign Clarifies Candidate's Meet The Press Comments On Pre-Existing Conditions | TPM2012

In a Sunday interview, Mitt Romney spoke out for a popular provision in the Affordable Care Act that guarantees coverage for people with preexisting conditions. But his campaign later clarified that he supports a scaled back version of the policy with much weaker protections.

"I'm not getting rid of all of health care reform. Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I'm going to put in place," the Republican nominee said on NBC's "Meet The Press." "One is to make sure that those with preexisting conditions can get coverage."

His campaign later told TPM he wasn't signaling a shift in policy and was instead referring to his existing stance in favor of protections on preexisting conditions only for those with continuous insurance coverage — not for first-time or returning buyers.
