kane,
I am not sure how to solve the preexisting condition issue. Maybe a nationwide pool to keep costs lower? Balancing how to take care of the sick while not punishing those who are not is a tricky proposition - especially when many of the sick are that way because of their life choices. But people who use that as an excuse are forgetting about the millions who are sick through no fault of their own. Living in Gattaca is fine as long as you are perfect.
I saw an article claiming that we have spent 6 trillion dollars total on the war against terror. I think of that whenever I hear that there is not enough money to ever pay for things that benefit the common folk - you would almost think that taking care of them is not a priority for the federal government...
