I'm glad you got your unemployment. I hope you have some other savings, because ins. will take a huge chunk of your unemployment check. And the previous posters are correct about getting ind. coverage with a pre-existing condition.
Well, I will do what i have to do, and you can be rest assured that i will not expect you to pay for my misfortune.
Very cavalierly stated. Chances are, if you are experiencing diabetic complications you will be unable to find private health insurance - at any price. Your only recourse will be to go on the 'public teat' - for which, if there's any justice in this world, you will be refused.
Karma can be a cruel can't it? More than likely he'll get treated, and guess who will pay for it? The tax payers.

No, my only recouse is to deal with it. If I die, I die.
I have a co worker of mine going bankrupt over medical bills when his daughter became ill, and is just like you. He voted for Bush twice and McCain Palin all the way. Loves to scream "Socialism" all the time too.
See, healthcare isn't a right provided in our Constitution. However, freedom of speech is. So, I simply said I was glad to hear he was exercising one of his actual rights. His freedom of speech. Just a comment on the man screaming "Socialism" Not an attack on you.
Kinda ironic dontcha think? That you'd be willing to die in order to prove your point against a new type of health care system for all Americans.
It's not a new system! It is the same healthcare, just a new insurance provider. They aren't overhauling anything in the actual healthcare arena, they just want you to be a part of their new "Big Brother" health insurance program. What we need is actual reform to the healthcare industry, not another insurance company.
I also suffer from Diabetic Neuropathy of my feet. If I should need to get assistance, I will get insurance. I dont expect John Q Public to foot the bill (no pun intended)
The ADA has this to say about obtaining insurance.
"For a person with diabetes, obtaining and keeping health insurance and life insurance can be very difficult or -- sadly -- impossible to do. However, there may be other options available. To learn about your options, please select the category below that best represents your current situation."
The ADA links were all to government insurance programs. Do you have anything lined up?

maybe you should stop surounding yourself with liberals who expect everyone else to take care of them. There are actually some people who cant stand the thought of bieng a burden on others, its called Pride, something liberals know very little about without the word "Gay" in front of it.
