For this week, please read the following opinion piece by Nicholas Kristof on health insurance for pre-existing conditions and re-read the article I posted on the traffic court judge who refused to give points to people who violated traffic laws so as to avoid inflating the profits of the insurance companies (here is the link).
Both the traffic judge and Kristof seem to believe that insurance companies should not be able to charge people more for insurance once it is discovered that their risk relevant to insurance coverage has increased, i.e. people should not be denied coverage for (or presumably charged higher rates for) so-called pre-existing conditions.
Please think about this issue and be prepared to discuss on Thursday.
