Tell me about it. My wife and I went without insurance for twenty years. Both uninsurable due to preexisting conditions. Had to pay for everything out of pocket, but at least we got discounts. If it gets unbearable, might have to look to the county or state for relief if there’s no other way, but the constitution prohibits the federal government from getting involved. Yeah, I know. Johnson pushed through the unconstitutional fed gov socialist medicare program for the old and disabled, but at least we were able to fend off unconstitutional fed gov intrusion into private health insurance for the general public for 50 years since... until Obama. We need to repeal this unconstitutional monstrosity before it bankrupts the entire industry and the nation. The federal government cannot “take care” of everyone and was never intended to.
“Tell me about it”
We had something similar when I was younger. My father and me had a small remodeling company. We were both covered under my mother’s Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan until, I think,I was 18...after that I went many years without coverage.
Correct me if I am wrong but, you being a veteran, I would think you would have had VA coverage?
Anyway, as far as my brother, I think the problem was he made too much to qualify under any state programs, and that would be the case today as well. This is not an endorsement of ObamaCare like plans, I don’t know enough to make that call, but how do you stay true to 100% free market, when the free market won’t even look at my brother?
There has to be millions out there just like my brother, and this group never gets the media attention...they are lost in the cracks!
