Should anyone ever be denied healthcare coverage regardless of the circumstances or the individual's prior healthcare record?

Not regardless.
Even I know people will abuse any unlimited system. Plastic surgery isn't a life necessity procedure as just one example. Multiple organ transplants are another. Simple cost versus benefits are used anyway on insurance claims.
Soon enough it will get even more complex with medical advances happening all the time.
A reasonable lifetime cost limit based on inflation should apply. Not one established yearly by health care insurers, with not even a single consideration for inflation. Year by year it hardly ever changes. Even over a decade it hardly changes.
Talk about a self serving profit makers. Why are they allowed to establish their own overall yearly limits? 🤷🏻♂
It makes no sense. Unlimited profits that way. With many using nothing. I haven't used a hospital in decades myself.
Set up a limit for specific things through government and make the insurers use that limit, would eliminate most of the problems.
Everyone gets a flew at some point. So set a lifetime limit on only that. Cost would be negligible and could even lower overall costs if cured early enough.

@DeWayfarer My point is, it's not necessarily an ideal system.

@MarkPaul guy I being generous to the insurance companies.
You know darn well that the ultra left would nationalize health care.
I'm not for that. It's not workable.

@DeWayfarer I'm not promoting nationalizing healthcare. But, within that point of view, there is much to critique the current health care system that Americans are saddled with based on historical decisions designed to address past biases and sensibilities. I implore you to think beyond, "well, that's the way it's always been done."

@SunshineGirl A basic level of coverage is what is called insurance.

No. But Americans need to inflict horrors and cause casualties because otherwise it's a nanny state. They're against that weenie stuff and for harsh medicine.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Roundandroundwego It's not about inflicting horrors, but there needs to be some commonsense and compassionately applied limitations to avoid corruption.

No.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I'm aware of the rest of the world, of course. But, we need to approach this surgically and strategically, not with a snowblower that dumps a solution on a social order that doesn't have a common point of reference of what the EU is doing. Ignoring the frame of mind of the marketplace you are trying to bring a solution to will only cause that proposed solution to crash and burn on entry. Instead, you need to provide a guided path to move the society from point A ("You are here") to point B ("Here is where you need to be"). It's a multi-step process.

@MarkPaul Clearly you have no idea how the rest of the world works based on your comments.
And your incoherent ramble just makes you look confused.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow You are literally borderline insane. I happen to live in the rest of the world. You obviously have no idea was is taking place on the North American continent as you cloak yourself in your grievances, bathe yourself in your bitterness to the free world that makes your life tolerable, and bury your head in the sand of ideology.
As you know, I am a global activist, so I am all about getting things done, not treating ideology as the solution in itself. If you think the USA is prepared to accept universal healthcare EU style, you belong at the children's table. If you hurry over to that table, you will be in time for milk and cookies.
