So we're stuck with having to buy a likely worthless health insurance policy or be fined. Personally, I don't think this will make it out of the Senate, or at best it will be deliberately pitched back and forth by anti-insurance-legislation zealots to infinity. But on the off-chance that this really does become law, if I have to have a gun held to my head now to pay for soon-to-be grossly overinflated health care premiums, if the insurance creeps refuse to pay my treatment for cancer can I sue the &^%$'s? Seems to me it's only fair that I have an easier time in court bringing a case against them for either dropping me or inflating my premiums so much that I'm forced to drop coverage for sheer lack of funds.

It's amazing that they claim it's "impractical" to deport illegals by the millions, but it will be possible to FINE millions who refuse to buy insurance.

You can already sue your insurance company for a bad-faith refusal to pay for covered treatment. So, yes, you will be able to sue them if they've agreed to cover something and refuse to do so.

Why is that so amazing? Deporting millions of people involves physically rounding them up, moving them south and letting them out across the border, all the while feeding them and providing housing, etc.

Fining people will involve requiring some sort of proof of insurance when you file your taxes.
