IF they even carry company insurance with 6 employees. Many do not.
Yes I can imagine the scenario. But also imagine: the diabetic is coverted by BCBS at company A and company B has BCBS: he should be covered.
I understand you negotiate your coverages and amounts but those constantly change from year to year...especially if you have older employees. I think in my case it went up some amount just because I was a year older! No change to health but the age. The logic was the statistic that my age group was susceptible to increasing chances of maladies.
I just think the portability issue is a lot of smoke.
There are other “mandates” that are a lot more costly such as fixed required coverages.
“If this plumbing contractor doesn’t offer insurance to his employees, then this wouldn’t matter.”
That is your answer to small businesses, don’t offer Ins to your employees?
1. Don't offer insurance to your employees; OR
2. Don't complain about the cost or the terms of the insurance.

I am a bit of a novice insurance wise: where else does it happen under other types of insurance?
Cars?? Homes? Appliances?
It is not true that veterans who served only a few years and no service related injuries qualify for Tricare. Tricare covers families of active duty, retirees and their spouse. There are very few exceptions to that. Most veterans qualify for VA care, but not Tricare.
The other issue to remember when discussing benefits to veterans is many of the benefits were promised to them when they signed up. Military pay is based on including benefits offered. If benefits are taken away then salary would have to increase. For many years military received little pay and a lot of benefits. The benefits were and are considered part of their pay.
A doctor has a medical malpractice insurance policy with Insurance Carrier A from 2000 to 2015. He switches to Insurance Carrier B in 2016.
In 2017 the he gets sued for something related to a surgical procedure he did on a patient in 2014. He can't file a claim with Carrier A because they are no longer his insurer. Carrier B shouldn't have to pay any claims on this because they weren't the doctor's insurance carrier at the time of the event that precipitated the lawsuit. So he files his malpractice claim with Carrier B, who then works out an arrangement -- often dictated by state insurance regulations -- to split the cost of the settlement.
The fact that every democrat opposes the bill is a positive.
Excellent. Unfortunately it’s so simple that the concept is completely lost by many.
Time and time again, it has been proven that the more we allow the government to get its grubby little fingers into ANYTHING beyond that expressly outlined in the Constitution, the worse it gets.
Reagan always said that government was not the solution it was the problem. Just as true today as it ever was. Actually more so today.
Sure. When I had that accident I called and bought insurance while I was waiting for the police to arrive so my repairs would be covered. Sure I did. Honest.
True enough but I just switched insurance on my cars,,no lapse of coverage and there is no waiting period....
And Congress can fix that. After they repeal obamacare as they've promised to do for the last seven years.
“Is medicare, medicade, and social security constitutional?”
___
No. Why do you ask?
Oh I wish they would!
The argument that they did it in 2015 can can do it again has much merit. Why can they NOT vote on the bill that previously passed???
Just DO IT.
THEN you can talk about portability and all the other stuff.
Or maybe the fedgov just stands down. [Scuse me...I went looney for a second...]
Just curious your take. I believe most of what the feral gubmint does is violating the constitution. Just wondering.
“...most of what the feral gubmint does is violating the constitution.”
