Santorum: Insurers Should Discriminate Against People With Pre-Existing Conditions

Rick Santorum sounded like a representative from the health insurance industry when he addressed a small group of high school students in Merrimack, New Hampshire yesterday morning. The former Pennsylvania senator not only defended insurers for denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, he also argued that individuals who are sick should pay higher premiums because they cost more money to insure:
SANTORUM: I had insurance under my employer. And when I decided to run for president, I left my job, I lost my insurance, I had to go out and buy insurance on the open market. We have a child who has a pre-existing condition and we went out and we said, we like this plan…we have to pay more because she has a pre-existing condition. Well, we should pay more. She’s going to be very expensive to the insurance company and, you know, that cost is passed along to us…I’m okay with that.
Comparing health insurance coverage to auto insurance, Santorum explained that beneficiaries could reduce insurance premiums by paying for services out of pocket, and only rely on their health insurance coverage for the most catastrophic expenses:
SANTORUM: Health insurance, you turn everything in. You turn in every claim, you turn in your oil change, you turn in your tires, you turn in filling up your gas tank, everything is turned in to insurance and then people wonder why, ‘oh my insurance rates are going up?’ Insurance rates shouldn’t pay for your general maintenance any more than they should pay for the general maintenance of your car. [...] Should they pay for the operation, well just as much as they should pay for the car accident.
