Pubbies will insist on keeping “pre-existing conditions” coverage that’s in Commiecare thereby negating any real reform or allowing real free markets to work.
Exactly right. Repubs don’t have the courage to tell people you can’t insure your house after it burned down because that would be heartless. Let your neighbor pay the higher premiums. Same thing they did to the banking industry.
Gummit needs to get out of business.
Merry Christmas
So you don't want anyone with a pre-existing condition to get insurance, period? What about those who had insurance at the time of being diagnosed with a disease then lose their jobs, are they screwed from ever getting insurance again too?
Or were your comments aimed at those who wait until they get sick to ever buy or try to buy insurance? Some clarification would help your point.
As someone who's carried insurance on his own since 18 years of age and being recently diagnosed with a crippling form of arthritis, if I lose my job and I've paid insurance premiums non-stop since 18 years of age should I be prohibited from getting insurance again because I now have a pre-existing condition?
You should be careful when using such broad brushes as to who you paint with your statements.
IMO there are three facts in play here, and neither is mutually exclusive:
Fact #1: Obamacare must be repealed. Period, end of discussion.
Fact #2: Insurance companies should be prohibited from just "dropping" people when they get sick, or finding ways to not insure them at all after they'd been previously insured, simply because they happened to get sick and require the insurance company actually provide coverage while they were sick. The fact is, insurance companies do this kind of crap all the time, I know plenty of people who can't get health insurance on a family member because that son/daughter was born with a condition, even though the mother and father both had health insurance where they worked. That's just wrong, and that's just one case I can talk about.
Fact #3: Those who abuse the system and do not purchase health insurance should be forced to bear the full brunt of the costs of their treatment when they get sick. In no way shape or form should they be allowed to foist their costs onto the rest of us because they failed to do the right thing and purchase health insurance to cover themselves.
Personally, I'd support a bill that does #2 and #3 above. Those of us who work and play by the rules in #2 shouldn't get screwed because we got sick. Those who abused the system in #3 above should pay, period.
And yes, I'll say it again: REPEAL OBAMACARE. Don't "fix" it, drive a stake through it's heart and burn it to the ground. Any new legislation needs only to address #2 and #3 above to be successful.
I`m confused. Where in the Constitution does it mention govt. deathcare?
Just kidding. We know that useless piece of toilet paper was flushed down the crapper over 75 years ago.
They will create a “pool” for those turned down for pre-ex. The ins co’s will shuffle off all the undesirable risks to the government.
If that means making the high-risk insurance pool a permanent provision, then that IS free market reform.
