I agree to a point. But I don't think there needs to be legislation. I think people just have to realize that if they are gonna be more of a risk to the company that they need to pony up a little more cash (like you said) than a healthy person would. Health "insurance" is not a right nor should it be. You have the right to pay for the service. But you don't have a constitutional right to health insurance (well not until now) no matter what.

You may think I'm a bastard for thinking that way, but I'm tired of people trying to get things "just because someone else has it" without having to work for or make sacrifices like the rest do. There will always be a company that will insure you no matter what. You'll just have to pay a huge amount of money to get it. But it is out there. It might not be affordable, but it is there.
