Health isnurance for profit is AMORAL!

[Jarod]

And if you didn't take the time, before it ran out, to find healthcare for your family, then not only are you ignorant; but selfish, arrogant, self-centered, and just an all around terrible husband / person.

I was denied by ALL companies offering insurance in my area at the time.

 

[Jarod]

10% is enough. I mean if someone gets a $500,000 settlement surely $50,000 is plenty of money isn't it GayRod?

Anything more is just plain greed

So you don’t believe in the free market?

 

[CFM]

What the fuck is wrong with you? My wife did not choose to get leukemia. Mccain did not choose brain cancer. It is an internet sport for an asshole like you, but healthcare in the US is a real and serious problem. Your flippant answers are so revealing about you. Bit you have no answers. Just smart as remarks.

Why do you think it's your place to choose things that cause other people to pay more for their coverage?

 

[CFM]

That's how true insurance works. Perhaps the risk was too much.

Maybe you can get all your fellow bleeding hearts to chip in. They constantly claim they care for those that don't have coverage. See if they'll prove it by contributing to the pot.

So you say. You claimed earlier that your wife was the one with a PEC.

 

[Jarod]

Please describe these "unreasonable" obstacles that they are "throwing" in your way.

It may have already metastasized? Here is a thought GayRod. Why not take her to Planned Parenthood? I hear that they perform all sorts of women's health procedures every day.

GayRod do you have a specific clause in your Obamacare coverage that covers mastectomies? If so, then I would suggest you hire a lawyer and take Obama to court.

They don’t have a resconstructive surgeon in our area, the closest one it 54 miles away. They are therefore legally required to then make an exception to the “in network” requirement, but they are saying approval for such will take 6 weeks... the Oncologist says that is too long to wait. We found a reconstruction surgeon willing to accept their rates, but they still refuse to speed up the six weeks.

She is required to have a particular MRI before they will approve payment for her mastectomy but that MRI also requires pre-approval from them, that takes two weeks, for no explainable reason.

That’s just two examples.

 

[Jarod]

But he doesn't always get a settlement or a judgment.

His time is uncompensated if he loses under a contingency fee agreement.

Yup

Hearsay.

Why do you think Obama did that to you?

What do you think of Obamacare now?

BTW you don’t “need” a reconstructive surgeon. It isn’t necessary to perform a mastectomy. Any general surgeon worth his salt could do it tomorrow

And the follow up MRI is probably confirmatory so as not to do an unnecessary surgery. Remember when your boy Obama accused physicians of doing unnecessary things?

 

[Rat Robbersson]

Why is it moral for a lawyer to take 30-40% of someones money? That is heck of a sum dontcha think?

How is it more moral than an insurance company?

snot.

 

[Rat Robbersson]

After listening to you and USF I can understand why Shakespeare wrote . ​KILL THE LAWYERS!

except fffffffffffor jarod and other liberal lawyers with a conscience and compassion, I forgot to mention. god bless jarod.

 

[Rat Robbersson]

So he is having winners subsidize her losers? Is that what you are saying?

no, it's what you imply.

 

[Legion]

Can Brad reconcile what appear to be divergent narratives?

Before Obamacare she was uninsurable due to a PEC.

She was only diagnosed two weeks ago. I am saying when I left my job 9 years ago, we lost that insurance and were uninstallable due to other pre-existing issues.

We had Cobra for a while, until it ran out.

So why didn't you have insurance for her, BEFORE she had the PEC??

We did.

Why didn't you mention your wife's supposed PEC back in 2014 when you sang the praises of the insurance you boasted of having?

Silly was not relevant, but I really don’t care what you think.

The ACA has helped me in three ways.

1) I was able to get insurance, previously I was excluded for a history of high Cholesterol.
2) My employees insurance, which I pay 100% of, went down about $300 a month.
3) My family's insurance went down $90 a month, and now I am covered.

Oh, and a fourth way.... Many more of my fellow Americans are now insured and that makes my nation more healthy both physically and financially. It takes the stress off the healthcare system and will lower medical care costs drastically in the long run.

1) That is true, I went without health insurance before the ACA passed. (Then I had a provisional program called the PCIP, and now I have regular health insurance)
2) I combined us all into one policy.
3) I got no subsidies.

 

[Rat Robbersson]

The insurance company is obligated to pay, yet they are throwing unreasonable obstacles in the way, to try and wait her out, hoping that we will just self-pay, to get it done sooner. The cancer is currently growing, and one day soon will metastasize. They are taking advantage of that situation to get out of living up to their contractural obligation. That is immoral.

I can corroborate that having lived though the obstacles of a work comp case. + they spy on you with video cams.

 

[Rat Robbersson]

Jarod said it helped him and he's not poor!!

hypocrite. trump did that with his so called tax reform tax cuts ffffffffffor the 1%.

 

[Rat Robbersson]

Hearsay.

not in a civil case, i dare say.

 

[Rat Robbersson]

We haven't established beyond a reasonable doubt that his wife is even ill.

this is not a court room and you are not a judge, judy.

 

[Rat Robbersson]

15 minute recess. gavel down.

Actually your honor the defendant has proven our case

The insurance company is not preventing Jarods wife from getting a mastectomy

Jarod is requesting specialized care which is not medically necessary and is cosmetic only.

A general surgeon can perform the surgery quite nicely and probably do it tomorrow.

But GayRod wants a higher level of care. That is why it is taking longer.

The prosecution rests its case your honor
