WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney's plan to help people with pre-existing medical conditions: hang on to your health insurance if you want to be protected.

The GOP presidential candidate wants to help those who maintain continuous coverage, a fraction of a much bigger group of people at risk of getting turned down because of medical problems.

Here's the catch: If you had a significant break in coverage, an insurer still could delve into your health care record, looking for anything — from a bad back to high blood pressure — that foreshadows future claims. They'd be able to turn you down.

That's a contrast to President Barack Obama's health care law, which guarantees that people in poor health can get comprehensive coverage at the same rates everybody else pays, and provides government subsidies to help low- to middle-income households pay premiums.

What's sad is that he still has a shot at winning, despite everything he does to show his lack of basic understanding or even empathy.

Just about anything can be (and sometimes is) considered a preexisting condition, like acne.

Same with my wife.

Hell, I had to fight tooth-and-nail just to get them to accept that my depression isn't the worst anymore.

Too many mental issues to count, and I'd probably get turned down cold for healthcare. Romney can go play in the six-lane.

Romney logic: You don't get health care unless you're perfectly healthy. Genius!

This is just amazing.
Hang on to something you don't have because you cant get it in the first place, to protect you from being unable to get the same thing later.
The logic, she weeps.

Given what American insurance companies consider pre-existing conditions, is there anyone who is actually capable of getting coverage?
