Pre-Existing Medical Conditions

I suppose if I were having a conversation with those who support the position of the Managed Health Care industry (the Health Insurance companies at large) then I’d need to draw a distinction of viewpoints.  Fundamentally, it would seem that industry supporters want to live in a country that would allow people to suffer and die prematurely for no other reason than they have, through no fault of their own, an expensive medical condition.  Whereas the rest of us want to live in a country that uses its abundant resources to take care of its citizens (all of them).

In this case we are talking about finding a way to allocate medical resources, treatment and care to those who have medical needs for which they otherwise could not reasonably afford treatment.
