Is it going to be run like car and life insurance where the higher health risk you are, more you will pay each month for the same coverage as someone who is at a lower health risk?

isn't it already like that?

Hell, my dad can't even get coverage because of his problems. (diabetes, high chloestrol, high blood pressure, gall bladder, stomach, pancreas, and like 4 more i cant remember at this time).

this is why health care needs to be more preventive then the current trend... medicare/medicad would be alot better off if every person in america had health insurance there whole life and were seeing doctors there whole life... thats why nationalized health care works ... we have the tech to stop problems like diabetes and we dont do it cus people dont go to the doctor like they should cus the cant afford it... so we spend tons more trying to fix problems...
