"So if you find yourself again at some time in the future being uninsurable because of pre-existing conditions, this health care reform would help you."

No. THAT is the point I am trying to make- THIS health reform would make it MORE expensive and harder for me to get coverage: I would have to spend money I do not have to get a lesser plan than I did before.

You can get ANY health care that you want- IF you pay for it- BUT WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR YOUR HEALTH CARE? If you are poor, and cannot afford it, go on Medicare ( which I already pay for) If you do not qualify for Medicare, YOU ARE NOT POOR ( according to the government you expect to pay your bills). Argue that the Medicare level is too low- I might agree with that- but to demand that everyone else ( 80% at least) pay more and get less so YOU get an advantage without paying for it is WRONG.
