“Government is not the solution - Government is the *problem*” — R. Reagan
What I thought was good - sometime during the night it finally came to an end.
If you ban insurance companies from disqualifying pre-existing conditions altogether, then what incentive do people have to buy insurance when they are not sick?
Do more research.
Clue ~ when you change jobs and cross a state line you will almost certainly lose your insurance ~ under the current law, or a future law.
That's because there's no provision in federal law for medical insurance companies to compete across state lines.
it just goes downhill from there.
Hear, hear. It’s refreshing to see someone paying attention to something other than the letter next to the name.
all I can say is at least you currently have the chance to shop for another insurance carrier if they start playing these games with you. What are you gonna do when the single payer Government plan does all this to you (and worse)?
You are going to get your socialized medicine so enjoy it. You won, are you happy now?
Obviously you MISSED the giant telepromter right in front of his face.
I thought the contents of the school speech were "unobjectionable" until I realized (thank you, Rush) that it was a complete sham and was utterly contrary, those words, to the man's entire political life.
Thank you.
IBTZ! /s
you are agreeing with premises that everyone agrees. This is a false presentation by Obama. The things you are list at the top of your list happen rarely, if ever happen, but he is trying to make it sound like ‘evil’ insurance companies are running around doing this... and only the wonderful government can solve these woes. It is a strawman argument. Something Obama loves to use in his speeches. He then pretends like no one else has a different solution, so we must put his in place.
Well, with Obamacare, I assume the incentive is not paying thousands in fines for not having insurance.
If you forced insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions, then no healthy person in their right mind would ever buy insurance - they'd wait until they were sick. Imagine what the insurance premiums would have to be under those conditions.
Pass the smelling salts!
If so why would this government program not have that same waste?
It scares the heck out of me to have a centralized govt run health care.
The best I can come up with is Fred Thompson: “ We need to have 50 different ideas in 50 states and let them compete for the best idea.”
There are many things that could be done that are being ignored
