Good. Straight up; the mandate is what I have a problem with in this law. Take it away and make it voluntary instead of mandatory and much of my objection goes away. More choices will then appear on the open market so those who want to have catastrophic insurance can or they can have a more comprehensive plan and actually get their doctor back.
I do hope something can be done for people with pre-existing conditions through no fault of their own can also be covered at reasonable rates. Insuring kids well into adulthood should cost extra though but keep it available.
I hope they take their time with this and get it right. Everyone know obola got it all wrong but now that the ball is rolling; maybe something can be done to make it an open market system rather than a mandated one.
Congress is looking into "high risk pools" for those folks.
"Insuring kids well into adulthood should cost extra though but keep it available."
I could see children up to 18, but up to 25 year old adults? Pfft.
“I do hope something can be done for people with pre-existing condition.”
I think this would be a wonderful charity.
Any government solution probably runs into territory covered by my tagline.
This insuring your adult kids thing is not such a big deal. No one is saying the parent can’t pay for their 25 year old kid’s own plan. Sheesh. After all, the parent probably cares more about the kid having coverage in an emergency than the kid!
