Eliminating pre-existing conditions allows people to wait til they are sick to purchase insurance (kinda like a widow enrolling the departed in life insurance so she can collect the week after he’s gone). It will undoubtedly cause rate increases far above what we’ve seen before.

Their coverage should be portable, and I believe it is already under HIPAA. They can enroll in the new employers plan and still be covered, or they can buy an individual policy and still be covered.
