"Suppose they were never insured?" Leno asked.

"Well, if they’re 45 years old, and they show up, and they say, I want insurance, because I’ve got a heart disease, it’s like, `Hey guys, we can’t play the game like that. You’ve got to get insurance when you’re well, and if you get ill, then you’re going to be covered,'" Romney replied.

Many are BORN with a pre-existing condition. Many may have had insurance,had to quit work,fight for disability(maybe get turned down a time or two). Would there be a linit of how far back you had insurance to still be covered the Romney Way? He is missing the entire point. People should not have to live in fear of not having insurance when they need it the most. Many with pre-existing conditions can't afford the rip off rates that are given to those who fit in this category. He can afford to be smug and Queen Ann too but many do not have the luxury or having insurance with their job or the ability to pay for such a thing on minimum wages. Mr. High and Mighty should just look at a list of all the "conditions" you can have that will jack up your rates or prevent you from getting any coverage at all. It's not bad enough what you may have but insurance companies go back generations so you could have trouble if your grandfather had cancer or heart problems. We need to get the decision makers out of the hands of insurance companies and the Romeny's of the world.
