What would have happened if you contracted, for example, Lyme's disease which caused cardiac complications while in college? How would your plan worked for you then.
I'll tell you. You would have medical costs beyond what you would be able to pay off for many years after graduating. Your job would effectively be an enslavement to a medical bill.
The point is I didn't. Those plans are geared for the demographics of that age group.
Most college kids are healthy and really only need coverage for emergencies.
You can play the "what if" game and suppose that everyone could get cancer at 10 years old and then what.
But reality and history show that college kids are not bankrupting the nation with those college healthcare plans.
It's not college kids that are driving costs sky high.
People with NO healthcare are.
And medical bankruptcies that are filed have the majority of them ON healthcare plans. They don't have the money to pay their share of the bills.
What exactly do the waivers prove to you people? They are only good for one year....
It seems to me that the waivers prove that these companies (and states) are providing health insurance to their employees that have annual coverage limits, high deductibles and poor coverage.
It's great that they're putting themselves on a published list!
Can you provide with certainty they'll not be extended in any way via 'Executive Order'? Or do we just trust O at his 'word'?

There you have it.
And, the new high deductible policies and policies with annual limits to coverage are a big part of why we needed health care reform.

You do make a good argument for a Govt run UHC system.

Why..what is there today serves it's purpose and is NO burden on taxpayers.
College kids, if not under their parents plan, have an affordable alternative until they graduate and get jobs.
Why fix what is not broken ?
Because some government official told you so ?

Great post.
True, but I doubt supporting HC reform is what he thought he was doing.
