What more do you suppose they will give away before this becomes law?
My vote:

the pre-existing conditions issue, already pushed back to 2014 for adults, will go away.

the denial of coverage provisions--good as gone.

What do you think?

4. I think we have hit rock bottom with the Senate Bill
it won't get past the House if it gets any worse, it may not get past the House even now.

18. if they pass this crap legislation, a retarded duck would be able to predict the 2010 selection.
although afghanistan and unemployment aren't going to help either.

7. I hope you are right about the pre-existing conditions for adults, but I doubt it
I do however believe after it becomes law, they will start to work on making it better

Edited on Tue Dec-22-09 12:15 AM by dysfunctional press

17. well then- i think that you misunderstood the op...
OP:
"What more do you suppose they will give away before this becomes law?
My vote: the pre-existing conditions issue, already pushed back to 2014 for adults, will go away."


your response:
I hope you are right about the pre-existing conditions for adults

the op is saying that they'll be taking pre-existing condition protections out of the bill, and you say that you hope that's true...:shrug:

19. Thanks, I realize that now. That is why the house version is so much better. A lot of people
have lost their jobs, and thus their health insurance, and a sizable number have pre-existing conditions, that insurance companies will not cover, or exclude, for example, hypertension, they would exclude anything related to the heart if they even insured that person

I am pushing my representative to fix that in the reconciliation process, along with other issues, especially after it becomes law, if it cannot be done during reconciliation
