Government run Health Plan site

So do you need health insurance ? The government site is supposed to provide information to help you find available insurance in your state.

Do you have a pre-existing condition ? If you do, it says that to be eligible for an insurance program, you must have NOT had insurance for the past 6 months? If I had a pre-existing condition, abd had to wait 6 months to be able to "afford" the prescriptions and doctors visits.

What do you think ?

You just cited to the home page. That makes it difficult to review the information on which you based your post.

OK, I found it. What is shown there is a transitional plan. The transition to the pooled plans for which everyone is eligible does not happen until 2014. This delay is one the compromises away from the single payer plan.
