(h) FUNDING; TERMINATION OF AUTHORITY.— (1) IN GENERAL.—There is appropriated to the Secretary, out of any moneys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $5,000,000,000 to pay claims against (and administrative costs of) the high-risk pool under this section in excess of the premiums collected with respect to eligible individuals enrolled in the high-risk pool. Such funds shall be available without fiscal year limitation.
(2) INSUFFICIENT FUNDS.—If the Secretary estimates for any fiscal year that the aggregate amounts available for payment of expenses of the high-risk pool will be less than the amount of the ex-penses, the Secretary shall make such adjustments as are necessary to eliminate such deficit, including reducing benefits, increasing premiums, or establishing waiting lists.
Well, having a high risk pool is more than many high risk folks have now.
There you have it... And those stupid liberals thought things like denials and waiting lists or RATIONING of care would be gone? HA! Thank you for pulling that out... Posting to my facebook in a bit...
Duh
