Speaking of Obamacare, I just got an email from an online insurance provider which included this Q and A:
Q: Can I be required to pay more for my coverage based on my health status in 2014?
A: You cannot be rated up based on your health status, but you can still be required to pay higher premiums based on your age, tobacco use, and where you live.
So a 400 lb. 30 year-old with hypertension and diabetes will pay lower premiums than a 60 year-old who runs 5 miles a day and weighs the same 165 lbs. that he did in high school. Only democrats could come up with crap like this.
Democrats wanted to limit how much young healthy people would pay, so they made it illegal for there to be too much price differential between the oldest and youngest customers’ prices.
Of course, in reality this will raise the rates youngsters pay.
Quinn’s first law: Liberalism always achieves the exact opposite of its stated intent.
So where you live is considered to be hazardous to your health? Let me guess, Texas is more dangerous than San Francisco?
