All things being equal, taking on any risk at any time, without precondition limitations exposes insurance companies to high expenses from an insured who has never paid a premium. (Yoda's kiosk). On the other hand, we want insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. Why not a short, eg 60 day, waiting period?
