Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fox News contributor Brit Hume said Sunday that Obamacare\u2019s mandate that insurance companies cover those with pre-existing conditions completely undermines the concept of insurance.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe triumph of ObamaCare is this coverage for pre-existing conditions, which basically defeats the whole idea of insurance,\u201d Hume said. \u201cFor example, in the automobile insurance market, if you could wait till you had a wreck and then buy insurance and have the repairs covered, that\u2019s comparable to what we\u2019re doing here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He went on to say that the concept of insurance is to protect oneself from any unforeseen risks in the future, not to acquire it once one falls prey to illness. \u201cThe idea of insurance is that you purchase it to guard against risks and things that may occur in the future. It\u2019s not that you purchase the coverage after you\u2019re already sick,\u201d Hume said.<\/em><\/p>\n
