how well does an insurance based system work if you are born
sick?

It works quite well in my experience.
My first child was conceived before I had insurance, so the insurance
didn't cover my wife's (ex-wife now) medical bills, but it covered the
child's medical bills in the hospital.


I was thinking of someone with an ongoing condition, private
cover here tends to exclude known conditions when I've looked at
it.


Very true in the US.

My son is diabetic and takes daily insulin shots .He has his own
business and he could not buy health insurance.


Well, that may be true, but he said "born sick", and all of my insurance
coverage for dependents has always covered children at birth.
