Health Care Reform

As long as we're passing health care and thus doing more damage than the terrorists, I'd like to suggest one change:

Stop terrorizing the English language. I'm talking about the term, "pre-existing condition." The prefix "pre" is totally unnecessary, like Republicans at a policy debate. Adding "pre"doesn't make something exist any harder just as ending a sentence with multiple question marks doesn't make it any more a question.

What if we applied the same type of grammar to other words. Would we have "post-history?" "Past-previous?"

I think we need to end the Insurance industry's abuse of the English language with such phrases as "pre-existing condition."

And I think we need to be pro-active about it.
