Reid wants one big humongous insurance company to take care of all our needs — the federal government.
These idiots haven’t clue one as to what the purpose of insurance is: To protect against fortuitous loss. A pre-existing condition is not fortuitous.
“This clown is sooooo lucky he wasnt around in 1776.”
Indeed.
“Obamacare is not and never has been insurance reform. Its just an installment plan to create a national healthcare system.”
Precisely!
I much prefer the insurance companies to the government having the power.
“Opponents of reform have tried everything to protect insurance companies and block common-sense protections for middle-class families in Nevada and across the nation.”
This is BS. The Insurance Co. want the Obamacare. They have seen the writing on the wall. They are in a situation of losing money as the Baby Boomers become older and demand more types of coverage before medicare kicks in. By turning the actual coverage over to the government, health insurance companies become a utility companies handling just the administrative duties.
All you have to do is allow LOTS of competition.
Fed Gov doesn’t want that.
State insurance boards don’t want that.
Wonder why?
Everyday is Christmas for these politicians.
The foreign occupier and his horde are a menace to our nation and damn near everyone living here.
“This war is lost!” (Mrs. Reid’s little boy Harry)
I'll do that Reid; right after you publicly sign a document stating neither you, your loved ones/affiliates or the United States Government will hold any individual responsible for you're demise who's loved one was denied access to medical care under a U.S. Government system that they could have received under a private system today provided they can support such a claim..
Cool?
Giving the insurance companies a guaranteed income from making everybody buy health insurance is Harry Reid’s doing. If you wish to get fooled by people like him, you will.
This practice is not abusive. What is abusive is thinking you can wait until you hit trouble and then expect somebody else to pay for it.
From your comment: I dont want to give power to insurance companies but,
... but you've bought into the premise that the insurance companies are exercising 'power' here, when they are simply exercising their constitutional rights to not do something they think is stupid - and giving insurance coverage after the fact is really stupid, as insurance by definition is a payment to cover future risks.
No, I made a sarcastic quip based on the title of the article. Hop off the high horse.
Amen to that. These people believe fully they are endowed by their Creator with the inalienable right to run OUR lives. Look what Michelle had the audacity to say today that “we can’t let the parents decide what is best for their kids”.
he must genuinely fear repeal is possible in order to make this statement

What happens to confidentiality between a doctor and the patient? With obamacare, it would be between a doctor, the patient and who knows how many gov’t acorn-type yahoos who know nothing about medicine making the decisions. No thanks. And what if the said yahoo has PMS or just got dumped by a boyfriend and feels like taking it out on someone?
Yes it is, Senator Reid. Glad you are on board with repealing Obamacare which you previously helped shove through...oh, wait...you mean this was just another meaningless boilerplate phrase...?
Your life belongs to Obama and his goons.
