It has nothing to do with being a loser. Sometimes what happens is someone is on a group plan as part of their job or whatever, and have pre existing conditions that are pretty expensive to cover. They lose their job... move on or what not and try to get coverage. Because it is illegal to withhold pre existing conditions, they have to list all the medications and issues they have.

They either get:
1) A quote back for $900+ a month
2) A denial letter

Either one doesn't work, because most Americans work paycheck to paycheck (and sometimes worse than that) and the cost to insure themselves is way too much.
