Which Bill?
Then what?
What do you do to actually IMPROVE the current system?
And how soon do you plan or expect to do so?
Can you briefly describe the arguments in their bills?Then what?

The Republicans have submitted two bills for approval. Do you know what happened to them? They weren't even looked at. They were dismissed. Maybe if the Democrats had tried to include both sides in all of this discussion before today we'd be a lot closer to a solution.

Pure nonsense....You cannot wait until your house is on fire to buy homeowner's insurance.No one denied coverage for pre-exisiting conditions. Period. Should have been implemented a century ago.

Nobody has a right to a risk pool to get others to pay their bills.
Starting over is Republican code for doing nothing. They are talking about incrementalism, which is code for doing nothing.
The president should say flat out to the Republicans, come back Monday with a list of the PARTS of the current bill you are willing to support, then we'll go from there, passing them first, 'incrementally'. I'm guessing the GOP response would be a big hummunna hummunna.

I agree.
Something that I don't know if has been pointed out in the overall debate or not is that if you are joining a group plan (i.e. you leave one company with an employee group plan and join another) you already can not be denied coverage based on a pre-existing condition.
Why should they support any of that monstrosity at all?The president should say flat out to the Republicans, come back Monday with a list of the PARTS of the current bill you are willing to support, then we'll go from there, passing them first, 'incrementally'.

When I switched companies, that did not hold true. The 'new' insurance for the new company would not cover my daughter because of a pre-existing condition, and the old one had covered her from birth.
Now that was in 1999, maybe it has changed.
