Its even still better than if they asked thousands of patients a dollar.

Imagine prior to Obama Care where an insurance company could deny you for having a preexisting condition.

It was so bad that companies could kick you off of insurance mid-treatment for something like cancer and then deny you for having a pre-existing condition.
