Should patients have the right to buy health insurance?

Now the sick (diabetes, cancer, etc.) can not buy a policy new insurance because they have a "preexisting condition". This means that sick people can not change jobs, or can become entrepreneurs and buy their own health care. Obama wants to change that, while Republicans oppose any change in such policies. What do you think?

Actually, that's not true. Hire people with conditions where I work. I think they have to wait 30 days, but the insurance covers pre-existing conditions. Also covers members of his family if he signed as dependents. Some states have high risk insurance through Blue Cross Blue Shield but you are right, it is very expensive. My neighbor's wife is having seizures and recently lost his job and insurance. There is a free clinic in a neighboring town, where his wife gets her medication. There is help for people now, but many do not even know it exists.
