29. People with pre-existing conditions will not have to pay significantly more than people without them

That's what "community rating" means. Instead of having to pay 10 or 20 times the cost of normal insurance, they would pay 1 to 1.5 times the cost of normal insurance. Even without a subsidy, you don't think reducing the cost of insurance by a factor of 5-10 for sick people is a good idea?
