Pre-existing Conditions--Really!?

OK, this may be the best I have heard yet. Just heard it from a CPA who also just happens to serve in Congress. It would cost us $5 Billion annually to take care of every man, woman & child who has a Pre-existing condition vs. $2.7 Trillion for this debacle. Might even throw in the dogs and cats for good measure. Now, the Fed Gov takes in about $10 Billion per day in revenues. Thus, in one-half of one day, we could take care of the much worthwhile needs of the infirm. Now, my rhetorical question to pose to you is this: Do you really think this debacle is about Pre-existing conditions? Or, is this about the ego building himself a perpetual monument [A warm turd, actually]. In my opinion, it has nothing to do with Pre-existing conditions or anything to do with healthcare. The fix is simple: Provide the $5 Billion for Pre-existing conditions, make healthcare insurance again a state prerogative with the insertion of portability of insurance across state lines, truly providing for nationwide competition, allowing people their own option whether they want full coverage or a "throw me under the bus" policy, which I prefer, add a few more bells and whistles and voila, you've got yourself a healthcare plan. Idiots couldn't pour PI$$ outta a boot! This has absolutely nada about healthcare. Period! Other than the $5 Billion for Pre-existing conditions, the cost to the taxpayer would be $0. It ain't rocket science folks. The States have always been responsible for regulation of insurance. That is because the Constitution was designed for such.
