I heard this today on Rush and was astounded. Thank you for posting it!
It was a great call!
I heard this from a liberal a few days ago. The part about having to not have insurance for 6 months before one could qualify.
Her husband has some rare pre-existing and both are on COBRA now. According to their insurance broker...their monthly goes UP, yes...goes UP on this plan.
And he/she don’t qualify unless they have NO coverage for 6 months. It all seemed overly complicated as we talked about it. I didn’t understand some of what she was trying to explain, but I did get the jist of it.
1. It ain’t no free ride.
2. Her husband can/will die during the 6 month wait. (It is a serious pre-existing condition in which he has no immune system.)
3. She is taking to holding benefit dinners etc. to raise money for his medications.
She has also contacted Oprah.
