Blunt Fighting to Reinstate Insurers' Ability To Stick It To Individuals With Pre-Existing Conditions

Roy Blunt is promising to fight for a wholesale repeal of the Democratic health care reform package.  He could have chosen to fight for smaller or partial changes, but wants the whole thing junked.

Why does he want insurance companies to continue to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions, or let them kick people off their roles when they get too sick? 

You may recall that last year, the top priority on Blunt's (short) outline for changing the federal health system was to "make quality health care coverage affordable and accessible for every American, regardless of pre-existing health conditions."  No more.
