u mad bro? I think you kinda miss the point. the point is to find a job before you get sick. not get sick and start looking for health insurance.

What is the GOP healthcare plan?
Buy insurance with your money.

I have had health insurance since birth. so it doesn't matter when I get sick. when I do, I will be covered. if you choose not to carry health insurance, you're a complete moron. I was going to be without it for 30 days because there was a waiting period for it to kick in on my new job. I paid $600 for a month of COBRA because I am not a total idiot.

I once heard a phrase: you get what you pay for. The concept applies whether remodeling your kitchen or having a knee replaced.

If necessary, I can draw a picture for our Democrat readers.

Seems like you either failed to plan or planned to fail. Too bad for your predicament.

Maybe the next generation will be more adamant in teaching preparedness to their youth.

BO took it away.
Had anyone in your family actually needed it for something serious and/or ongoing, you wouldn't have needed BO to take it away.

That cool cheap family plan is all sunshine and rainbows...until that company decides it isn't.

I have never had a single issue with private coverage. sounds like you're just creating an invisible boogieman based on some horror stories. news flash, but horror stories exist on both sides.

That way it will be fair!
Employers didn't have to provide employees with health insurance before the ACA. They simply offered it because it's a great way to keep workers desperately dependent on keeping their job, since decent individual health insurance was often unaffordable.

I'm glad to hear that, but it sounds like you're just a very lucky person then. Count your blessings.

Just curious......are some of you government-handout types starting to see the handwriting on the wall?

I wouldn't expect my Veterinarian to provide FREE care. So what gives you the right to have me pay your way?

Any thoughts?
