Did they say when they were going to start working on "their" plan? If they had a plan how come they never tried to implement it when they were in power?
About 7.8 million Floridians with pre-existing health problems could lose coverage or face higher insurance costs if the new health-care law is repealed, the Obama administration warned on Tuesday.
The estimate released by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius reflects an administration backlash to repeal efforts in the House, where debate on the new law begins on Tuesday. A vote is expected later this week.
Democrats, backed by AARP, launched a lobbying effort on several fronts, including a press conference scheduled later Tuesday by Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston, who will argue that repeal would have devastating consequences.
Show me the stats that show 7.8 million non-insured have signed up for insurance since the Obama health bill has been passed.
375,000 - The number of Americans with pre-existing conditions HHS said would apply for coverage in the first year of ObamaCare, one of the main political arguments for its implementation.
8,011 - The number that actually did.
Here you go, HHS website, state by state, how many have signed up.

I'm ok with that. Insurance companies should not be forced to accept pre-existing conditions. They make money off of mitigating risk--they shouldn't be told they HAVE TO take someone high risk.
So if someone got a serious disease that wasn't as a result of a lifestyle choice, then their only alternative is to die or go bankrupt? The pre-existing conditions rule is the reason why most insurance companies disgust me, and I would never stick up for them.
