You can't do the preexisting conditions without universal coverage. If you didn't have to buy insurance, and you knew an insurance company had to take you on if you got sick, you would only buy insurance when you needed it. But insurance is based on the idea that there are enough people in the system who don't need it at any given time to pay for the ones who do.
