Pre-Existing Condition Danger Zone

How do so many people end up uninsured, anyway? Lots of reasons, not the least of which is the dreaded “pre-existing condition.” I have one. You may have one, too. If not, you probably will at some point. None of us gets through this life unscathed.
With the system we have now – everything’s great — as long as you don’t get sick. If you do, you might just find yourself in the danger zone, branded with the “pre-existing condition” clause. If you think it can’t happen to you, you are overly optimistic — or a member of Congress.
