I keep myself in good health and have individual insurance at fantastic rates because of it. I never stayed at a job or took a job because of the health benefits...I took a job because of the challenge.
What is missing in this whole debate is that 'health' is not just measured at the doctor's office. It is measured in many different ways and to make the American people carry the yoke of health care as politicians determine it to be... is missing the point of human 'health care' entirely....
Not all of us are able to keep ourselves in good health.
Despite having no (0) risk factors, I had double coronary artery bypass surgery when I was 45. Both arteries were clogged 90%+, and one was the widow-maker: the left main artery.
I don’t have insurance and I do have a pre-existing condition. Yet I am against this bill. Why? Because it is not good for the country.
