Return To Denial For Pre Existing Conditions.

If the Supreme Court demolishes the Affordable Care Act and restores health care to what it was, many Americans will be in a world of hurt. 130,000,000 Americans have a pre existing condition and the rest will develop one or more before they get much past 40. Would we now want to add those people to the 60,000,000 who have no health care as well?. Add seniors with a Medicare coupon under the same conditions and you would have maybe 60,000,000 more. Add it up and you would have 250,000,000 Americans without insurance if all were denied. We know that ALL seniors have several pre existing conditions by the time they qualify for Medicare.

I guess that is what the GOP calls freedom and choice. I simply do not know how we could be so stupid as a nation to accept anything the GOP says.

If you want to truly kill this country then vote for a Republican.

No one before ACA had a "medicare coupon" that I am aware of, when did that happen?

I do agree that if you want to kill this country then vote for a Republican and Republican laws, their health insurance reform plans would shovel money to insurance companies that still will charge a premium for those with pre-existing conditions and the Insurance companies will get to rake in billions without providing any health care whatsoever, they will in fact be able to deny care like they did with my wife with cancer. They choose what to deny, that is their only function for the obscene profits they would make under a Republican health insurance reform law.

This is what those Repubs at the Heritage Foundation have planned for us:

Does exactly that. Shovels 20% of all Health Care cost in to the insurance company pockets...and politicians wallets. For doing nothing but electronic billing. The GOP is worse. They think Health Care is an insurable interest. It is not. Leaving the only reasonable option Medicare expansion to all Citizens. The time has come.

if the majority of people want it (as they do) as they wanted it when we had majorities in both houses as well as the presidency, the pols only listen to the 1% money, not the clear majority of Americans that want something sane. No way to achieve the sanity that the citizenry wants, The Insurance companies and others completely own both parties.


The proof that they follow the same cash masters is that the ACA IS the same as the Republican law I posted from the nineties.

There will be no sane, decent, or humane solution to our appalling health care system problems because our laws are pay to play and the minority have all the money.
