Can somebody, anybody answer the question I have been asking for two and half years now, with ZERO results: “Why was this massive monstrosity needed when we already had HIPAA (Portability) and CHIPRA (child insurance)?” Both are funded through 2013...because the real aim is not to provide medical care by having insurance companies pay for it, but to provide medical care by having the government pay for it - this will be accomplished by saddling the insurance companies with such expensive requirements as no limits on coverage and forced enrollment of those with pre-existing conditions, to the point that, there really being no Santa Claus, they will have to charge such high premiums that eventually very few will be able to pay and will finally go out of business - then of course your benevolent government will step in to save the day - probably by 2020 at the latest......

I realize that is the real reason for DeathCare; however, the question I REALLY wanted to get answered was the coverage was there with HIPAA & CHIPRA, so why add another program. Perhaps your response is why no politician will answer the question.

On another note, why are we spending money on both DeathCare AND HIPAA + CHIPRA? Money we don’t have.
