It's a great victory for those who enjoy seeing their fellow Americans go bankrupt when insurance companies deny their claims.
With your every post, you prove that you don't understand how corrupt Obama and his socialist HC bill is.
Once this farce of a bill is repealed, the T-pubicans will do it correctly and you and your fellow uninformed democrats will benefit properly.
Stick with us, we'll show you the correct path, since you don't seem to understand.
We are all for HC reform, just not Obama's corrupt method...
I really wish republicans everywhere would just admit that their opposition has nothing to do with they they say and everything to do with
1. Insurance industry is afraid of falling profits and not able to jack up prices wherever they see fit so they buy republicans to go against healthcare.
2. Racism; Republicans and /or conservatives in general can't stand the idea of someone who who does not look like them to get government supported healthcare.
You do realize that obamacare DOES NOT address the cost issue, in fact, premiums will go UP under obamacare.
85% of those with HC insurance are satisfied with the quality of their care, it is the COST they are concerned about.
Let's have incremental change to the system that addresses the root of the problem, instead of the massive government takeover of our HC system by party line vote, with backdoor deals, vote buying and against the will of the American people.
I do agree that forced premium payments to these "for profit insurance companies" is not constitutional. I do not like the idea for profit insurance is the delivery of healthcare in this country. I've got nothing against profit. I have everything against profit at the expense of peoples' health. I've seen this happen and I'm extremely angry about it. I've haggled with several insurance companies and have had enough of them when it pertains to one's health, period. I'm hoping the bill is significantly modified for Americans first not insurance investors.
Don't kid yourself. The premium increases up to 20-40% were a direct response by the insurance industry to Obamacare.
The requirement to buy insurance in order to live and avoid punishment via the IRS is unconstitutional. What part of that is difficult to understand really? The "get everyone insured" may be doable at the state level but it is unConstitutional at the federal level.
The rates went up 20-40% because the insurance companies were afraid they would no longer be allowed to raise their rates whenever they wanted to......they were hedging their bets.
Just read some of the previous posts. "You don't have to buy insurance.....they can't deny you." I for one, would like to see people like this forced to pay for their own insurance instead of relying on mine.
Does this mean pre existing conditions and caps can now be used by insurance companies as excuses not to pay-up?
The GOP will be rolling out a replacement bill that addresses those issues.
