Hey, President Dum—-, this is not insurance

We have a dum—- for a President.  Today, Barak Obama continued his idiotic pronouncement that health insurers must cover people with pre-exisiting conditions.  Here’s part of an AP story:

The president would bar insurance companies from turning down applicants because of their "pre-existing conditions." He would establish health care exchanges that would spread the costs of treating patients such as Smith over a large number of people.

Requiring health insurers to cover pre-exisiting conditions is like allowing people who have car wrecks to buy car insurance after the wreck and make the insurance company pay for the wreck.  Or, allowing a widow to buy life insurance after the spouse has died.  It is idiotic and is not insurance.

Obama has repeatedly said that words have meaning.  If so, he should stop calling his plan "insurance",  if he is going to require a company to pay for health care for conditions that existed before the person BOUGHT INSURANCE.  Call it health care.  What an idiot.  Really.
