You might argue that your annual check-up isn't insurance, but rather coverage of an anticipated annual cost, but I don't get trying to argue that coverage of my pre-existing condition isn't insurance.

I'll take it a step closer to Less (I assume). I've had blood tests that show elevated levels of some stuff consistent with some bad things. But further testing showed no sign of any bad things. I have no symptoms, apart from the above, no diagnosis, but I do have a "condition" and have little doubt that if insurance companies could deny me coverage on the theory that some future treatment is tied to this "condition," they would.
