Why should insurance companies insure people with preexisting conditions?

Ok, so people with diagnosed illnesses should not have access to health care? Is that what you're saying? If not, please tell me what you mean by this.

Do you ever attempt to debate?

See, a non-retard would have engaged Oncy by answering his questions.

debate what? with you people, is that a joke or something..all you people know how to do is call people names and tell them they don't what they're talking about anyway..so why bother.

Everybody doesn't qualify for these. For medicare there's an age limitation, for medicaid there's an income qualification. What about those people who lost jobs, get minimal unemployment insurance, and have to pay COBRA to keep up coverage? COBRA is nothing more than adding insult to injury as the cost is so high many can't buy it.

COBRA coverage costs exactly the same amount as it did while you were employed.....

Um, no. Your employer pays a good portion of it. Have you ever been on COBRA? I have. It was costing me about $500 a month.

when you are employed your employer pays some and you pay some....when you lose your job you have to pay it all, but the premium does not change.....the total cost is the same....

It's already been asked, but what about those people that don't qualify for medicaid?
 
Fish said:
Sure, and that would be great, but what about those people who would have to make a choice between buying groceries or paying for health insurance?

many people lived with making sacrifices in the past to pay their bills, maybe this generation ought to try it. and stop whining for the Government to take care of them..eh?

That doesn't answer my question. If it's not obvious to everyone in this thread yet, this hypothetical uninsured person who a preexisting condition is me. There is no actual choice. Either I pay to buy food, which I will add is scant, or I pay for insurance.

What would you do in my position meme? I'm serious, any help to get out of this situation would be awesome.

there are clinics in your state you can go to that charge on your pay scale...have you checked into that?
If things are that bad for you, I can't see why you wouldn't qualify for medicaid or medical..

The compassionless conservatives don't care about you. They care about profits.

Many Americans are struggling to make ends meet as the cost of care goes up while others face losing insurance as businesses struggle to cover employees.

A North Carolina congressman says his Washington office received a death threat from someone upset with his support for health care reform legislation.

Democratic Rep. Brad Miller told multiple media outlets that the caller told a staff member that the congressman could lose his life because he supports President Barack Obama's health care proposals.

The U.S. Capitol Police confirmed Friday they were looking into a threat against a congressman, but wouldn't provide details.
