Oops: CBO Says GOP Health Care ‘Alternative’ Leaves 52 Million Uninsured By 2019

And that is why I was confused with what you said, on such a stupid comparison. Your looking at a small portion of the picture...try looking at the whole picture....like the 177 million.....plus the individual insurance...it dwarfs what your trying to spin. A fail on your part

The entire market isn't relevant to the discussion of provisions used by insurance companies to deny policies in the individual market.

Yes, I figured that was going to be your spin from many posts back. Congress isn't trying to fix the problem in just the individual market are they? They want to change the entire landscape of the industry. That is why it is relevant. If it was just the individual market, government could just allow across state line competition and reduce or eliminate pre-existing conditions. Good luck getting out of the corner you painted yourself into.

All the lefties efforts are just steps in the movement towards single payer healthcare and the destruction of insurance for profit. At least some on this board, misguided as they may be, are willing to admit it.

What is relevant is this -- either the health insurance industry gets on board and begins accepting that it has responsibility to the health of America, or it goes buh-bye.

If the industry has acted within the bounds established, it has fulfilled its responsibility. The same problems we currently have will be multiplied if the private industry goes "buh-bye" and the industry is taken over by the least efficient business model known to man. Why transform something that benefits 200 million Americans, when other solutions are available to improve the current problems?

Answer: because the current leftist desire for a single-payer system is motivated by a desire to "equalize" evryone's misery. There are only about 10 million legitimately uninsured individuals. Issues with denial of coverage can be tackled. Skyrocketing costs will dramatically increase if there is no bottom-line for insurance providers to be concerned with.

Thanks for admitting you support a socialist government. It amounts to a bloodless coup.
