Health insurance is supposed to offer protection — both medically and financially. But as it turns out, an estimated three-quarters of people who are pushed into personal bankruptcy by medical problems actually had insurance when they got sick or were injured.

The represenatatives that are fighting a public option are either scared out of their wits (if they have any) of Obama's success or in the pockets of the lobbyists...or both!

Insurance companies will take your money until it's time to pay. God forbid you are not in a group plan, they won't pay for anything.

How many insureds here have read their policies and know what they are....and aren't ...covered for?
Health, home, auto.
If it's a real bargain, do you think it is the best coverage and you just got lucky to pay so little?

Current health insurance is nothing more than a crooked casino with government sanction. You pay, their executives play.

I hope there is a public option. it's obvious that people need to see failure firsthand.
