The Senate candidate tells Jim Geraghty that he likes the ban, included in Obamacare, on insurers’ charging higher prices based on pre-existing conditions. Apparently he wants to repeal Obamacare and then re-pass that provision–although it’s not clear from his non-clarifying clarification.

One more time: If you can buy insurance at the same price whether you’re sick or healthy, you have no incentive to buy it when you’re healthy. Only sick people will buy it, and its price will rise and rise. If you want to have this ban and preserve something called insurance, you have to force everyone to buy it. You can’t get this ban on an a la carte menu, as popular as it would be.
