Aetna Forcing 600,000-Plus To Lose Coverage In Effort To Raise Profits

I can see how Aetna would release a statement blaming their price increase on fallen profits...

Honestly.:cuckoo:

Free Market means they are Free to raise prices and you are Free to shop elsewhere.
It does not mean I have to pay so You can get it for free; that is socialism as practiced by the Democratic party.

Which presupposes that you have;

A. level playing field.
B. Can get that resource some place else.

In this particular field neither of those is quite correct.
 
You missed the point completely there....

No we didn't....the whole story is fricken bullshit....any dumb ass that sets themself up for a 40% tax hit IS A FRICKEN MORON!!!! There are other healthcare plans out there that WILL accept them and that are reasonably priced......THAT'S THE POINT that you missed.

From the premise of the thread.....
If an insurance company wishes to drop a liablility it quotes a cost far and above the market value. You then have a choice to take or leave.
Since no other insurance company would willingly take such a loss on as a new client the only "Choice" the person has is to pay up or fuck off.

This is why the US is the only country in the civilized world where you can go bankrupt due to medical expensis.
I guess Canada is not part of the civilized world, eh?

That's a matter of opinion.
 
The downfall of the USA started when Libruls were allowed to vote. It's frightening. They have a hatred for free enterprise that you don't see even in Communist China any more.

Aetna is allowed to raise prices and people are allowed to get their insurance elsewhere.

Why is this even news?

Oh, I forgot, Libs just had their 2 Minute Hate on the Insurance Companiesssssssss and their Profiteseseesesssss my precious.

i bet you never even read the book
 
Is it? Or are they getting rid of liabilities?

I'll sell you a policy for $100,000. Can't afford it? Well, guess you made the choice to be dropped then.

Is there a point you are trying to make here? Is there some "right" to cheap health insurance? Are you guaranteed to have some package of financial benefits? I'll help you out here because your cognitive powers are poor: no.
Health insurance is a good/service just like any other. There is a marketplace with many sellers and buyers and each party makes its best deal. The alternative is a horrendously expensive system that will bankrupt this country.

I'm making the point that these increases are far above what people can afford and the company knew it. Since they didn't have a way to legally cancel the contract, they used a workaround to get out of their legal obligation.

A. level playing field.
B. Can get that resource some place else.

In this particular field neither of those is quite correct.

Then level the playing field, but DO NOT steal from ME because YOU are too lazy to work.

You really don't get it, do you? You are already paying for healthcare for everyone. It's the MOST EXPENSIVE healthcare there is.

It's called the emergency room.

Every other industrialized country in the world has national health insurance, and because they do, they are able to control costs and pay HALF per capita what we pay for healthcare. Why? Because they are smarter than we are.

It's also a matter of opinion that you are a leech...but that's another thread. At any rate...you clowns that want free shit...move to France and give up 80% of yor paychecks...

Bull
The emergency room is required by law to provide emergency lifesaving medical procedures for immediate life threatening conditions.
Nothing more.
They can still bill the recipient - they only fail with those who are indigent - as long as they got a consent form signed at any point.
Guy gets carried in bleeding by Firefighters who happened across him and he, upon awakening refuses to sign, might get the bill passed on.
Guy comes in with no insurance and terminal cancer and unless Medicaid covers the treatment he's out of luck.

I don't want to pay for some bums Medicaid.

People can choose to live within their means or forgo medical insurance, the same choice I make. There is no excuse to charge me for a national health insurance scam

except that he is right, but fox would never tell you that
 
Republicans say, "Who wants to take care of a bunch of sick people"?

This is called "good business practice". Or "Cut and run - with the money".

The last people Republicans will defend is a bunch of sick people.
 
Well don't you worry little OP.

P-BO and Harry Pelosi are working very hard to put all those big mean insurance companies out of business so you can all be safe in Nanny Government's safe arms... till you're too useless/old/irritating/inconvenient to keep around. Then you're gonna get thrown out like a fish on the porcelain express.

They've GOTS ta draw the line somewhere. Pray you never get on the other side cause you have no other recourse other than go Logan's Run on em.
