Your exactly right, arch. Because you can't just give health care to people who need it. They're the ones who cost MONEY dammit, and that takes profits away from the stockholders in the insurance companies.

That would ruin the whole racket, which is to ream healthy people who don't use insurance with huge premiums, deny anyone unhealthy, and pocked hundreds of billions.

So shut up and don't ruin a good thing the Republicans have got going here. Their brokerage accounts are doing quite well now, thank you.

It looks like the health insurance company is refusing to pay (big surprise). That means I have to sell my house to pay the bills.

My life-long savings were in the house. That means, at age 58, I will be jobless (due to the medical condition), and penniless.

Thanks Republicans!

I've heard this one before. It's a stock story that the *progressives* like to throw out there every time this topic comes up.

If it is true though, you should probably stop posting right now and figure out how you're going to deal with this. It's a pretty serious situation and I wish you luck.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to say. It doesn't make sense and I'm not trying to be an arse.

The CBO has stated a repeal would add to the deficit.
