He’s right about the pre-existing condition possibly limiting his son’s future insurance.

I have a pre-existing illness, a heart defect, and before Obamacare I couldn’t get health insurance.

No one would insure me, not one company, and I tried them all.

It’s true that had my heart ruptured I could’ve gotten help at the ER, but that would’ve been only for the immediate emergency, I couldn’t have gotten a cardiologist or future follow-up unless I had $750,000 in the bank, which I don’t.

Now, under Obamacare, I have health insurance. I know it’s ruinous fir many, many people. It’s radically increased premiums and destroyed choice of doctors and hospitals, but I do recognize, and experienced it personally, that had O-care not passed I’d still be without health insurance today, through no fault of my own other than having been born with a heart defect.

I hope that somehow rational health care can be worked out by the government that allows pre-existing conditions while lowering premiums, maybe competion or intra-state insurance plans, as Anne Coulter has been saying.

You could get health insurance if you worked for a company with a group policy. Now the rest of us are paying $15K a year so every crackhead in America can have a Cadillac plan.
