We can hope the BOR slot goes to Ann!

And then there’s people like me —

We’ve paid for the best medical insurance for 20 years. Family plan, every month.

I’ve had a physical a year. Two children. Period. No surgery. No prescriptions. Nothing but a physical and natural birth.

So, to keep it all fair and balanced — I’ve probably paid, oh, $60,000.00 for me alone and got a lot of nothing albiet I didn’t need anything.

Good news though ! I have no pre-existing conditions so when I get a “condition” I can milk it - take my insurance company to the cleaners ! No, they’ll start to deny. They’ll look at their current balance statements, yesterday is gone and determine what and how they’re going to deny me.

Knock it off. You offer the service so surely you know that there will always be clients who are going to get more than their money’s worth but, then again, there are those who will always be in the black. And then they drop dead and your home free.

DISCLAIMER: I am not for government health care. But - don’t try to tell me that insurance agents and insurance company’s haven’t enjoyed a long term cash fest.

"O’Reilly moderately supporting Obama."

Uh huh. Just as I thought. And he's seen Obama's real birth certificate too, and has pronounced the whole eligibility controversy a kook conspiracy.

Get off the phone, ya big dope!

[JoSixChip]

BS, give one example where an insurance company dropped someone simply because they needed expensive care. It's against the law for one and no company could survive if that is how they did business.

[JoSixChip]

“I have a family memeber that was denied by two companies, even though she said that she would not use them for the services she required on that specific issue.

And sorry, she’s not a dead beat...she got laid off. I think it’s rather loose how you describe these people. Perhaps that’s true in some cases, but I think it’s rather cold to generalize like that.”

So you just natural figure your neighbors should pay for her care? There is a difference between charity and tyranny.

[Sir_Ed]

That’s not me. I’d LOVE to purchase health insurance, but because I have high blood pressure (completely contained with meds) NOT ONE COMPANY I applied to would sell me health insurance, not one single company.

That ain’t right...and as far as refusing to buy it, I had company health insurance until I was laid off, then paid $600/month for COBRA, which ran out, now I’m totally sol if I have a heart attack, cancer, severe injury, etc.

Our health insurance system is broke when a healthy guy of 50 with nothing medically wrong except for easily treatable high blood pressure CANNOT get one single company to sell him health insurance.

God help me, but I’m actually rooting for the Democrats on this one, God help me, I’ve never done that before...but something is wrong with a system that will not, or cannot, allow me to purchase health insurance.

[JoSixChip]

More BS, both I and my wife have high blood pressure and take meds for it and lipitor as well. I was layed off in February and used COBRA until last month. I picked up catastrophic coverage health insurance that does not kick in until after $7500 for $545 a month, that is for both of us. You guys are so full of it. What your pissed about is that you have to pay anything at all.

[Sir_Ed]

You are flat out lying about me.

How dare you...

Ed

[JoSixChip]

I’m flat out stating facts. How dare you expect others to pay your health care bills. Because that is the only way that the government can guarantee you coverage.

[Sir_Ed]

I just filed an abuse report against you.

I will not take being called a liar by anyone in this forum.

Ed

[JoSixChip]

Good luck with that.

[3IDVET]

Sitting here listing to bo jumping all over Ann and she was tagging him and he was defending hussain, unbelievable..I'm tired of this a..hole It is time for him to go and move Glenn in there and watch the ratings sky rocket..

[AdaGray]

You got that right. I can’t bring myself to watch him anymore.

[ballplayer]

Sure you make some points but you should check out Health Savings accts. Like you For years I paid thousands into Insurance and never went to the Doctor but at least with a Health Savings acct. Some of that money goes into your own Bank Acct. and if you take care of yourself you build a nice little savings there and at 65 use some of it for other things

[Rick_Michael]

What the hell are you talking about!? This has nothing to do with Obamacare,...it has to do with common sense. If a person is being denied coverage for something they’re not going to use....what the hell is wrong with that!?

[Kansas58]

Nearly every State in the Union has a “high risk pool” for people who have otherwise uninsurable conditions.
In fact, States tend to have EITHER the “high risk pool” subsidized by other insurance companies, and taxpayers, or they have a “guaranteed issue” basic policy that health insurance companies are required to issue -— AS LONG AS THERE IS NO GAP IN COVERAGE!

Now, before you or anyone else gets upset about the “coverage gap denial” issue, let us be clear:

MEDICARE does the SAME THING! If you do not accept Part B of Medicare, when it is first available to you (usually at age 65) You will pay a PENALTY of 10% per year for every year of uninsured but eligible time.

Same as for Part D drug coverage, but the penalty there is 1% per month of uninsured but eligible time.

Now, if you can prove “Creditable Coverage” then you can get out of these penalties, IMMEDIATELY upon termination of that coverage.

However, you might have to wait until the 1 January, of the FOLLOWING YEAR, for Part D coverage, or you might have to wait several months if you have no “credible coverage” before your Part B kicks in.

In other words, there are very, very few things that private, for profit insurance companies do, that the government does not do ALL THE TIME! (Such as DENY coverage or rate coverage or force a waiting period on coverage).

I would like the shuffle to include BOR retirement, Shep shipped out, Beck in BOR slot, Megyn Kelly in Shep's slot, and Ann in Beck's afternoon slot.

[wintertime]

Ann thinks I am a “crank”, and, I think OReilly is a phony. I'm not interested in either of their opinions.

Ed

You did not do a very good job researching your options.

I have very little sympathy for you.

The State of Oregon has several options, and YOU decided NOT to take advantage of any of those options, it seems:

Oregon High Risk Pool:

You either do not know what you are talking about, or you want all of the rest of us to PAY for your needs.

I ALSO sell Medicare Advantage Insurance. Most of the (under age 65) people I see with pre-existing conditions are spouses of those who want to retire at Medicare age. Problem is, when someone goes to an individual plan from a group (employer's) plan, pre-existing conditions are excluded for a period of time.

If we decoupled individual and group insurance from State mandates, we all could save money on insurance premiums.
