Pendleton, South Carolina
Another small town meeting for The Donald. Pendleton SC, population is 2,964. For centuries, the land that is now Pendleton was the territory of the Cherokee nation. After England claimed South Carolina as a colony, the Cherokee traded with the British. After the Cherokee lost the war of 1759-60 against the British, the British dominated trade in the region and began to settle more of the land with large farms.

Excellent thoughts. Are you in IA? (I played in IA in my rock an roll days, in a stripper bar. That was fun).
She looks like she cannot figure out a way to spin 42% into a loss. You think she will have the entire hour tonight bashing him?
More high German in that than Scottish brogues
Yes they do, and no it isn't. See Tom Price.
You cannot simply return to "Go." Too many people have lost policies and too many companies have gone out of business.
Of course you can. It happened in Canada, and in states here that repealed RAT legislation to fix their markets. There are plenty of companies out there ready to spring back up, or go into the industry. Existing companies will be all over writing millions of new cheaper and sensible policies.
If the government mandates (uh oh) that companies pick up where they left off, well, it's six years since those people had policies.
That's not how they do it, they would kill the statutes that create an adverse market environment and let the carriers write actual insurance...not a whacked-out bill paying service.
How many of them are sicker? How many have terminal illnesses?
Some of them are dead, some are in MediCare. Those needing to go into high risk pools will likely still be paying less than they would be now.
both have (wrongly) claimed that you can have "portability." Impossible, unless it's the same company. But you can't leave company A and its insured pool, take a job with company B and a much different insured pool, and expect the same benefits.
That's because "portability" does not apply to groups, but rather individual policies, just like HRPs. Generally if you move from one state to another in the same company, your coverage goes with you. If you change companies, they generally assume that if you are well enough to work, you are well enough to insure. The also tend to accept each other's pre-x history.
However, if you are self-employed and have an individual policy with a given carrier in one state, and move to another state, that same carrier may well treat you as a brand new applicant, and if they aren't doing business in that state, you're on your own, or SOL.
That's where "portability" applies, and buying across state lines.

I think the crowd was equally kind of freaked out about this guy, the crowd seemed kind of subdued this evening maybe they were as concerned as we all were!!!

I’ll take your word for it, but at the very least you admit that many, many people would never get their policies back. And, no, if they go into different pools many will end up paying a lot more.
Of course new companies will spring up, provided you can overcome the massive, incredible media blitz about zillions of people being tossed out into the streets.
I thought this post was insightful:
“This is why we continue to give him a pass on his not-so-staunch conservatism. This is why the pundits keep predicting his premature demise. They’re looking at him, instead of us.”

I was hoping that she would. LOL
Yep, good thoughts.
I bet it’s Rush’s BFF Levin’s instigation.
The same way they did it before...with high risk pools. It segregates the healthy insured premium pool from the guaranteed sick HRP.
It worked fine before, it still works, it will work again...just like standard transmissions.
Oh RED!! those are so much work!! I love you man. This is a war and we win it “inch by inch”. I appreciate you and your work.
I thought of that last summer.
Only downer I could find : They are exactly the same age. Would worry about who would follow them. Would we go back to the corruption we have now?
Opening up the competition across state lines creates competition and lowers price
Regarding Marco Rubio, if he truly is a Reagan conservative, let him go back to the Senate and show me by actions that he has renounced Gang of 8. Words aren’t good enough any more.
No, I don't, in fact they may get better policies than they had, especially in the Northeast, where "healthcare insurance" was totally frigged up. If people in Maine, Mass, NY, NJ etc could buy policies from MS or ND etc, it would be like a dam burst.
if they go into different pools many will end up paying a lot more.
Not necessarily, if they live in a "guaranteed issue" state, their rates may stay about the same as now, but new policies for healthy folks will be much less expensive.
provided you can overcome the massive, incredible media blitz about zillions of people being tossed out into the streets.
The companies will spring up regardless due to market forces, and the RATagandists will continue to lose credibility, especially if Trump is in the driver's seat.
