The underlying philosophy of mandating coverage for pre-existing conditions is the idea that everyone should be able to have basic medical care. With that idea it's really not that tricky to say pre-existing conditions should be covered.

I don't disagree with the philosophical purpose. Of course by simplifying the facts. You're leaving out the logistics of insurance companies that have to now take that responsibility on. Last I checked they dont work of the sake of goodness.

Better option would be single-payer. I digress...
