Rush correctly stated today this is no longer “insurance”; it is yet another entitlement (tax) that is disguised as “insurance” when it really doesn’t operate like insurance anyway.
Obamacare becomes Obamaclu$terf&%$
So how do the people with pre-existing conditions such as cancer or diabetes get healthcare?
First he mucks-up my lightbulbs. Now he mucks-up my healthcare.
Fred Upton needs to GO!
Good.
How do people with wrecked cars get auto insurance?
Good question. I think they don't. I think they die. Or they mortgage their house and deplete their funds and then they die. Or they find charitable sources.
They probably can get on Medicaid once they are poor enough. But I believe Medicaid has some pretty strict limits on what they will pay for. And then they die.
I’ve got a hunch that this isn’t about cancer and/or diabetes.
I think it’s about aids.
Democrats always hollered that Republicans would cut Medicare. Yet, it was Obama and the Democrats who took 800 billion from Medicare Advantage and gutted it, the lying SOB’s. Does the new Bill take more money from Medicare? Or, does Medicare get its 800 billion back?
So cool! I sure wish my homeowners insurance worked the same and I could buy coverage after my hose burns to the ground or is swept away in a flood.
SARCASM,!!!!
Trump is trying to save the nation, but it is not salvagable. I should have realized that despite his election. All he can do is to slow down the decline and put off the fall, and not by very much either.
We are so doomed.
Can you explain to me why we should give them healthcare welfare without the income and asset limits we put on welfare recipients for similarly urgent basics like food andd housing?
That kind of thinking is what brought us Obamacare.
There was a woman in my town who came down with brain cancer. She had young children and the surgeons wouldn’t operate without being given $35,000 up front.
She tried fund raisers, there were money jars all over town, but in the end she could’t raise the funds...so she died, leaving young kids behind, orphans.
That kind of barbarity shouldn’t be in a nation as wealthy and compassionate as America.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but $35,000 doesn't sound like a lot of money for a life-saving medical procedure.
Do you believe she had the right to rob her neighbors at gunpoint?
Well, that’s just silly.
Anybody who gets any benefit from the government can be said to do the same thing.
Do you have kids that went to public school?
Then their tuition was paid for at the point of a gun...your kids stole $1,200 a year from me, at gunpoint.
Do you use public roads? Then your use of them was robbery from me, to the point of .25 cents a gallon theft.
Your argument is silly...government takes from us as if they were pointing a gun at our heads—health care, roads, defense, schools, libraries, social security, Medicare...it’s all theft.
Silly...

Nope, it’s as I related it. Happened many years ago in Grants Pass, Oregon. Maybe thirty years ago? Twenty five years ago?
It was all over the news, on TV, radio. It was a huge story at the time. She couldn’t get health insurance, no one would cover her, so she died.
Ed
Then you’d better be ready to pick up the pieces after the next civil war.
What specifically does the law say in that regard?
“So how do the people with pre-existing conditions such as cancer or diabetes get healthcare?”
Those who belong to large member group insurance or work for a large company with such group benefits, or are an eligible family beneficiary of someone who does, they can get insurance already regardless of condition, even before obamacare.
For those who aren’t beneficiaries of such group insurance, they ought to look closely at Medicare Part C for this group. This is a managed care option.
