This is one of the great things about politics. As long as Guaranteed Issue stands, the Democrats and legitimately claim success. And the GOP can claim success if they are able to pull any little bit of ACA down, even if their effort is effectively impotent because it just makes whatever they damage come back some other way in some other form.

First, I continue to post that quote becuase people cannot give me a true answer...they try but cannot.
Your concern for my brain is touching; however, on the basis of what I've seen from you here, it might be better for you to worry about your own brain.

And the quotes that no one can give you an answer to? They've been answered many times - go look.

I'm quite willing to accept that I'll never understand you. To me, this is a good thing, and not something to be regretted. Clearly, you have no clue as to what I was saying, and I blame myself. I must have used too many big words.

Oh, and when you post somthing I said, please use the "quote button, because you obvioulsy only quoted what you felt you needed to respond to, to make yuor point valid, which if you would have posted my entire quote, just doing that would blow this (your) post out of the water.
There you go - everything, warts and all. And I've bolded your warts - just trying to be helpful.

As for being "EXTRA CAREFUL" I hope that works out for you. Really I do.

I suspect that several other people in this thread will claim they could list myriad concerns with requiring that all subsidized healthcare and health insurance be non-profit.
Many health insurers already are not-for-profits. Take for example all the Blue Cross Blue Shield insurers. And many others. It does nothing to keep down costs.

The real problem with health insurance today is - it's not really insurance. It's prepaid health care and a cost shifting scheme.

Imagine how much auto insurance would cost if it covered gas fillups and oil changes.

Good for your kids! Bravo! They must be very special; they're the only people in the country who have found comparable health plans with the same doctors and the same benefits, at a lower premium.

What you're going to find out is that the Feds aren't ready for ObamaCare's legislated record keeping requirements, and won't be for a long time. In the interim? Everyone's personal data is at serious risk.

But hey, what's a little privacy and protection from Identity Thieves when Obama has the NSA spying on everyone's domestic internet activities, anyway, right?

How do you know whether or not an intent was to 'spread the wealth' via crime?

Love the "fairness" bit. You must be a stand-up comic!

That is where you're wrong. Many years ago BCBS was sued by the major for-profits because BCBS was undermining insurance profits resulting in reduced dividends for shareholders. Anti-Trust comes into play resulting from the courts decisions. Another words BCBS has to price their product inline with the for-profits. Only because they have to and in order to do so they have to collude.

What part of no one who is receiving UC should have a "JUST IN CASE BILL"?

even if it's $5.00 a month that money should go toward food if you are healthy and in between jobs
