The insured would have been hosed and I've hardly kept up with it but before ACA how many big insurance companies went out of business? Certainly not BCBS, Humana, UHC and Aetna.

Our small Church is trying to help out as best we can but it looks to me that this couple has not only been hosed over by the ACA but repealing it completely would cause even more harm.

And people in their situation are probably a small percentage but still, you think of people that are going through cancer treatments, etc. many of them would end up without insurance for their current illnesses.

Occurs to me that they've been put in this situation through no fault of their own.

Pre-existing conditions were covered in most states before ObamaCare through state pre-existing condition pools.

They were expensive.

My memory says that insurance companies were bought out rather than folded BECAUSE of their clientele.

There was also gap insurance that had to be provided under HIPAA of 1996

Through no fault of my own either, and nothing is preventing me from joining them under the present mess that Obama and the "progressives' created.

We know who the responsible parties are, and no punishment, none, it too extreme to reward them with.

We KNOW who they all are.

Sign me up.
