Is there any stuff in the bill about wether or not there is a limit on what insurance plans can require if you have a pre-existing ailment?

Adding the government as an added middleman so insurance companies have company, further seperating patient and doctor is so clearly stupid, it's beyond belief. Logic dictates the more health care provided to people who don't contribute to it means price will either go up (which it will) or costs will be cut (which it will); costs meaning quality of health care. And yes, let's make medical insurance mandatory to everyone just like car insurance. If you can't afford car insurance, you don't drive; if you can't afford medical insurance... ???? It's not just health care insurance that needs to be reformed, the distortions to medical practice foisted on doctors must be reversed. Hey, here's a thought, just to make it equitable, let's have the lottery revenues be the sole support of health insurance so the poor will contribute big bucks; at least then they wouldn't be wasting all that money. Simple, easy reform is well within reach. How about basic health care services be provided by recent graduated doctors and nurses who had government loans? Allow a portion to paid off by manditory service. That's a simple idea, easy to impliment that isn't being considered. Let's find solutions that work instead of dumb ideas that won't.
