GulagCare Strikes Again
meaning you can just pay the fine until you get sick and they buy a policy since they aren’t allowed to reject you....once again, Sarah Palin and her little Facebook page prove correct.
No, really.
Buy it when you need it, drop it when you don’t. No problem.
How is that any different from requiring insurance companies to pay for a pre-existing medical condition?
How can any insurance company survive faced with potential cost like this?
this is my interpretation. is this the correct interpretation?
I suggest a mass mailing of inquiries to our Congressional staffs, politely asking for help in the decision to drop coverage, and then file for coverage at the point of need.
They can't, and that's probably all part of the plan.
They can’t deny you coverage, but do they have to charge you the same as a healthy person or will there be special policies for people with pre existing conditions (aka Death Care policies)?
That's the Dem's plan. Bankrupt the insurance companies. They just can't come out and say it as such, but.. THAT'S THE INTENT.
Yep. It seems to be a rather obvious way to achieve a single payer system.
Unless of course they change the coverage applications to be so lengthy and confusing that even a “t” left uncrossed or an “i” un dotted could be grounds for denying coverage due to misinterpretation....???
Just saying, I look for the ins companies to do whatever they can or have to in order to stay in business against the regime.
“How can any insurance company survive faced with potential cost like this?”
They can’t. They’re not meant to. Health Inscos will become quasi-governmental agencies.
Folks, I understand the issue here, but believe it or not, there are many people who simply are dropped from coverage, lost their job, or got laid off, lose their insurance, or have a sick child born to their family and can’t add them to their existing policy, in the process of switching insurance policies, they drop you for some “unknown circumstance that you didn’t know you had”, etc. Yes, it is unfair that companies should be made to foot the bill for this, but what other recourses are avaialable for people in this situation?..This is, and I hate myself for saying this, where the government needs to step in.
Moot court!.... The Senate version of the bill and its recon-sillyations is the law, not the House bill.
This would be a breech of contract, if true. Is this widely asserted claim true?
It is like ordering a can of beans, paying for the can of beans, and then being told your bean order has been canceled.
okay... good...
Okay............. I have a problem, I have a friend who thinks all of this health care crap “is just wonderful”, How do I tell her that she is stupid without insulting her?
