OK, I feel better about Cantor.
Could someone please explain to me why Cantor is in a position to be authoritative? He’s embarrassing himself and pissing off those of us who voted for a complete overhaul of the Feds.
Hey you effing moron! We don’t want anything about this bill to survive.
Repeal it or you’ll start seeing your career dissipation light in your left eye!!!
Covering pre-existing conditions is a "feel good" measure which is just totally stupid and indicative that economics are not the guiding factor here -- this is about "social justice".
If it's a preexisting condition, then you aren't buying insurance, you're buying a finance plan, right? I mean, you wouldn't walk into an Allstate office, sign up for new auto insurance and :30 seconds later ask them to fix the dent you had before you walked into the office, right?
I'm not sure what the answer is, but forcing companies to pay for preexisting conditions, isn't it. Rates are going to raise, putting insurance further out of the reach of individuals and small businesses.
What a jerk. First the government makes the insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions. Then the insurance companies try to raise their rates to cover the costs. Then the government tells them, no, you can’t raise rates. Then they shut down and drop all their customers.
Sounds like Obamacare to me.
Stop being such a JERK, Cantor. If the GOP is going to continue to try to be the Party of Me Too, then all of you are FINISHED. DONE. OUT OF THERE!
A house on fire homeowner with no fire insurance by choice, shouldn't be able to call for fire insurance when it catches on fire, and with Pre-Existing Conditions, the same holds true; ESPECIALLY if the "pre-existing condition" is SELF-INFLICTED (such as AIDS, DRUG USE, etc.)
This will kill insurance companies all by itself(pre-existing condition immunity).
That means that if you get diagnosed with a terminal illness, you can still buy an insurance policy after you get the news.
This health care law must have a stake driven through its heart. If any trace of it remains, it can still go into effect and kill the economy.
Is being ‘sick’ of work a covered pre-existing condition?
There were zero posts to this when I started writing mine.
In the short time it took me to write mine, there were 8 ahead of me!
I live in Cantor’s district. I supported him based on “REPEAL”! I went to his victory party. But I was starting to wonder why I was seeing more Cantor stickers on beat up Subarus next to “Coexist” stickers. Now I know. I feel used.
Yes it’s nice to cover preexisting conditions, but how to pay for it? Either jack up the rates big time to cover the risk. Or make everyone buy insurance (individual mandate) to spread the risk and cost.
Either way, we end up back to where we are now.
Someone once told me I could count on Cantor to do the right thing. I’ll stop listening to that guy.
Wise up Republicans!
Cantor is worthless and should be primaried out of office at the first opportunity. He’s another in a long line of Democrat-Lite Republicans who have spent us into bankruptcy.
FYI ping:
“correction” from Cantor on obamacare -— (or was their office barraged with phone calls?)
Folks, I just called Cantor’s DC office and spoke with one of his interns (Megan ...very nice young lady!) and expressed the concern we have about the Republicans wanting to rework the flawed “pre-exisiting condtion” crap! She went to check with Cantor’s staffer, and ll they told her was, “Rep. Cantor wants to repeal the entirety of Obamacare.
I explained to Megan that even if we repeal Obamacare and come up with a Republican version; if it includes any type of “pre-existing condition” provision, this will still result in a one payer, government insurance system. I told her to tell the staffers, we didn’t elect these guys to give us democrat light healthcare!
Guys, please take a second to call and express your concern! His DC Office is accepting phone calls! Please be polite to Megan...she’s just an intern. If you need to scream, ask for a staffer! We must flood the lines and put these people on notice!

What's it going to take to convince these jackasses the only health care reform we need is LOWER PRICES THROUGH TORT REFORM!
Anything less is an attempt to preserve the institutional parasites.
