the big lesson learned back in '94 was the power of the insurance industry to spend money for forge public opinion.

The fact that Hillary's been there, even though she failed, makes her the best bet to be able to improve our system.

As to the "Romney" comparison, I doubt very much romney's plan had Medicare as an option, or the federal employees health insurance program as an option.

Her proposal includes both.

I remind you all that trying something that doesn't work is still a positive result; you learn from it.

No. I'm saying that the Insururance companies are the problem here. They shouldn't even exist. They add nothing to our health care. They are just a leach that is draining American businesses and citizens dry.

There is no such thing as a pre-existing condition. One day you're healthy and the next you're sick.

There is a 100% chance that some day I will die, and my life insurance company will have to pay my policy. But I can guarantee that before I signed that policy, my imminent death was a 'pre-existing condition'.

Well, I'm not so sure that you and I are in disagreement about this. It is the system we have in place, and the way I use mine, it will hopefully keep me from losing my house, in the event that I have an expensive problem.

And one day you're uninsured, and the next day you're not. If you've been diagnosed before you are insured, then your condition pre-existed your coverage.

I could be wrong, but I was supposing that the issues addressed in the OP, really might only come into play in the situation I describe...I'm giving the ins. co's the benefit of the doubt on this one.

That is a fact. However, if you purchase your life insurance when you're young, it will cost less per month than when you are older. Likewise, if you smoke, it will cost more.

Old age, and smoking, along with numerous other factors, will guarantee you a quicker payout on your policy...and they charge/accept you accordingly.

I'm sure you realize my point is that, signing up for health insurance, after you know you have a condition, guarantees you an immediate payout.


This, in response to your question..."How is getting sick, commiting fraud?".


If you had aids, and purchased life ins. without telling them (impossible nowadays), that would be fraudulent as well.
