~~PING!
It’s not hard to find insurance companies that will disqualify for this or that reason.
But remember, an insurance company is a business. If they make it their practice to disqualify essentially all of their customer base, they won’t stay in business long.
Would having acne disqualify a woman from having an abortion on the Obama plan?
When I was morbidly obese the insurance company wanted almosts $1,000/month for insurance. I had obesity surgery (paid cash myself) and lost 130 lbs. Now they won’t cover me because I had the surgery. Yes, I understand they are a busines, but I’m healthier than I’ve ever been and they won’t touch me...??????
These are businesses who have to underwrite risk and collect payments sufficient to cover those risks.
I’m sure some idiot government passed laws forbidding the insurers from charging extra for some things, so instead they have to refuse coverage to people who otherwise would cost the rest of us money.
Just like a homeowners insurance company might pull out of a state if that state requires them to cover things without allowing them to charge appropriately.
We certainly don’t need to overhaul the entire health care system just to handle little problems like this. If some state really wants to force a private business to cover police at no additional charge as a cost of doing business, they can pass a law, and if the insurers don’t like it, they can simply stop writing insurance in that state.
God forbid we get to the point in this country when government can force a private business to stay in existance, and dictate to that business who they have to serve and how much they can charge.
“Is it true, or are they pushing Obamacare?”
I’ve heard the acne thing before, and seem to recall it having something to do with the person not declaring their dermatologist said he/she was at risk for skin cancer. Whatever it was, it wasn’t that a doctor discovered hidden pimples on the patient’s back and reported it to the greedy insurance company, who licked its lips and kicked them out.
” documents released Friday by a California-based advocacy group illustrate.’
That’s all you need to know right there.
Kind of a catch-22, the pharmaceutical companies want everyone to be on at least one maintenance med....
IMAGINE the WaPo shilling for HusseinCare!! Whoda thunk it!
How many companies and health insurance plans are offered in your state?
If the needs of some consumers are not being met, the place to address that lack of business competition- is within your state. Don’t most states has insurance plan ools for high risk driver to obtain auto insurance? Why not for helath insuarn ce,too. That way the companies have to spread the risks and costs, and maybe share it with the state.
The answer is NOT from Obamacare. Go spend an afternoon sitting in a VA hospital and think of that atmosphere magnified 1000 fold.
They are lying. This is a lie that Bozo told so of course they have to keep repeating it.
I hope they do this with auto, disability and life insurance too. I hate these monthly premiums. It would be so much better if I could just go out and buy it just when I need it.
Can the government fix it so I only have to bet at the casinos on the hands I'm going to win. Because having to bet on all the hands really sucks.
