OH Breeder, My "extensive hospital stay" was from a farm accident. Been cleared for years now and have no "pre-exsisting condition". My point was, why do I, a healthy person, want to be in a pool with higher risk people just so I can pay their way? I realize my example was an extreme over simplification, but, my point is I will pay my share for my risk, you (generic you) should have to pay for your risk as well.
As far as the markers go: I am both excited and scared to death of all the new technology coming up. You have markers for coronary plaque rupture. There are genetic test. There are test to see if your more likely to have breast cancer. If all these test are available, why wouldn't the health insurance companies require a full DNA work up to pin point your exact risk?
I say your "most correctly" in your statement about genetics and your health because I feel many people use "genetics" as a cop out when dealing with their health. Are you (again generic you) fat because your Grandma was fat? Or are you fat because you eat Twinkies all day and do nothing but sit at a desk? Do you have a heart attack because your father did, or did you have a heart attack because you have no physical activity? Did you get lung cancer because your Mom has cancer, or was it that you smoked 3 packs a day? Genetics play a role, I agree, but so does your lifestyle. Change what you can, live with what you can't.
By the way, my plan does cover preventitive care, and it is not due to my employer, as I have personal insurance!! Yeah for me!!

about the same as if eveyone had to have insurance on there vehicle "herd".??.....some folks change there brakes regularly...some wait till they fail....either way automobile insurance costs are based on the later....wether you take care of your car or not....banks wont loan you moneyfor a car if your not insured, but they dont seem to care if you may have cancer or not when you buy a home.......the state will fine you for not haveing a card stating your covered with automobile insurance, but the health insures wont touch you for less than 10 k/yr.........we all seem to get comfortable with the yolk of communism, some may say....i say its just a byproduct of our society that most have excepted slowly over our times....when the shingle on your from door says...."give me your tired/poor/ and huddled masses" ect.....you can expect some kind of social equalities to prevail in its governing....no sense in getting all nervous now....amercia..l.love it or leave it ( as they say )

costs would be even lower if you went after the illegals, but law enforcement is always just a means to an end so the law doesn't get enforced and laws are only created to get people elected, and not enforced to get the same people elected.

why tax health care at all?
shouldn't the premiums just cover everything? why do we always have to play games. oh, i remember, so they can change the numbers when they start to go bankrupt to pay for all the people administering the program and all the people who don't pay in. stupid economics.

divide it into 50 states so tyrants can't impose their BS. oh, i forgot, shred the constitution.
it says provide for, not provide. since you want my money, you'll support king george III forever. there is nothing you will resist. probably won't even resist housing soldiers in someone else's house.
