You are getting healthcare reform, Dammit!

[uscitizen]

Might as well accept it.

 

[Sammy Jankis]

Might as well accept it.

Getting desperate are ya?

No. This governments power will be restrained, because they suck and are so stupid.

 

[Jarod]

We are getting healthcare reform... But I do not think we are getting a Public Option. The final version will be interesting.

Yeah, i exopect it will benefit the healthcare/insurance industry more than it will consumers.


But we are getting healthcare reform !

I agree, but it will be a step in the correct direction... How big of a step remains to be seen.

 

[Topspin]

it will get serioulsy watered down, I hope it keeps the mandate

 

[DamnYankee]

Liberal pussies don't have the balls to do what you promised.

Why do you say that. Don't you know our government is controlled by huge corporate fascists? Why would anything they do be in any right direction.

Don't you believe steps backward and bad legislation are possible?

I rarely agree with you, but liberal men are pussies. The toughest ones are woman.

I do belive that its possable, I do not belive that will happen in this case.

 

[Sammy Jankis]

WHY?

 

[Jarod]

WHY?

Because reading the proposals, it appears that the net will be a posative. I belive the facist insurance companies will take a setback.

In what sense it is a net positive?

 

[Jarod]

In what sense it is a net positive?

To name one, prohibiting Insurance Companies from declining coverage due to pre-existing conditions.

 

[Topspin]

I'll rephrase out of respect for BAC picking up jarrod.
No one gets owned by both sides more than Jarrod.

 

[Damocles]

To name one, prohibiting Insurance Companies from declining coverage due to pre-existing conditions.

You didn't read the Senate version then, there is no such prohibition. It simply provides them an opportunity (after a year) to enter into a high risk pool and get a different kind of insurance that falls into the "bronze plan"...

 

[Sammy Jankis]

So what's up, Jarod, are you just making shit up?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Might as well accept it.

FROM MY COLD, DEAD, ......wait. wrong subject.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

To name one, prohibiting Insurance Companies from declining coverage due to pre-existing conditions.

this right here should be dealt with first and foremost. in fact, I would imagine that you could get 99% of America behind this one single thing, if only the dems would make this the only single law about it right now.

While it is a shitty bill, it does prohibit insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions and also prohibits rescissions.

Issuers would be prohibited from excluding coverage for pre-existing health conditions and from rescinding health coverage.
