Letters: California Representative Henry Waxman responds to It's Not An Option, IBD's recent editorial on the impact pending health care legislation would have on private medical coverage. Read IBD's follow up editorial, Still Not An Option.Your July 16 editorial, "It's Not an Option," was factually incorrect and highly misleading.
The editorial incorrectly states that "those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. . . . Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers."
The editorial also falsely claims that the bill "will kill the market for private individual coverage by not letting any new policies be written after the public option becomes law."
America's Affordable Health Choices Act will reform the individual health insurance market. It will create a transparent insurance marketplace that protects consumers and provides them with choices among quality, affordable health care plans.
Insurers will no longer be able to exclude individuals from coverage based on pre-existing conditions and will be prevented from selectively refusing to renew coverage or charging different premiums based on an individual's need for health care.

don’t believe WAXMAN.... you won’t be able to purchase it because the government will have run the insurance companies out of business......
Was this health care not going to be free? Seems I remember a lot of ppl saying if you thnk it is expensive now... wait till it is free... what is up with buying all these policies..
I do not believe Waxman any further than I could throw him.
TRUST ME!
Liar.
Not a big waxman fan either - but if you start reading on page 14 of the bill, you’ll find that the author of the editorial was “reading challenged.”
“Insurers will no longer be able to exclude individuals from coverage based on pre-existing conditions and will be prevented from selectively refusing to renew coverage or charging different premiums based on an individual’s need for health care.”
In other words, we will make private health insurance so expensive by all these mandates, that everyone will be forced to join the government plan.
So is Waxman opting for the government plan for his own health care needs?

Liar Liar pants on Fire
Bwahahahahaha, are you kidding?
I have the bill in front of me. What are you talking about?
Really? How so?
GOD HELP US!
Insurers will no longer be able to exclude individuals from coverage based on pre-existing conditions and will be prevented from selectively refusing to renew coverage or charging different premiums based on an individual's need for health care.
YOU PAY FOR EVERYBODY, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RISK, THEIR CITIZENSHIP, THEIR DRUG HABITS, ETC.
This new marketplace is called the Health Insurance Exchange. Effective in 2013, when the Exchange begins operation, health insurers may only offer individual coverage that meets insurance market reform standards
BUREAUCRATS WILL MAKE ALL YOUR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS.
Take a look at section 102...
Waxman is a lying POS.
