Why would anyone be surprised if 50% of Americans have a "Preexisting Condition"?

[Quantum Windbag]

Whoa, back up the short bus, something I missed the first time around.

Domestic violence as a pre-existing condition? RAPE as a pre-existing condition?

Since when is being the victim of a violent crime a medical condition? Is this for real?

Not that I am trying to defend this, but if you have a car accident that requires extensive medical treatment and you try to get insurance after the accident that would count as a preexisting condition. Preexisting conditions are conditions that predate insurance coverage, not things insurers make up to deny coverage. Most insurers only require that you disclose them when applying, and they are rarely a reason for denying coverage, unless you failed to disclose them. Believe it or not, that is actually fraud.

The little detail most people leave out of this discussion is not that the ACA requires insurers to cover these conditions, it is that it requires them to cover it without charging more than they do people without these conditions. This means that I, who have never had a problem with blood pressure or being pregnant, now have to pay for the remote possibility that I will suddenly develop these problems, which, in the case of getting pregnant, is extremely unlikely. In fact, it is so unlikely that if it did happen I would not have to worry about paying for it because I would be famous, and rich.

Ignorance is bliss for some, I see and DNC talking points run amok.

Due to spin from PapaObamacare advocates, many on the Left would not know that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, passed in 1996, already contains all of the consumer protections that PapaObamacare claims to institute anew.

Of course, if we had true competition in the health care market in the first place, things like the HIPAAC would never have required.

We see that Obamabots are fighting hard to keep to keep this monstrosity going but...


HHS Wildly Overstates the Problem of Pre-Existing Conditions — and Ignores Its Cause

Michael Cannon points out, a 2001 HHS survey found that only one percent of Americans had ever been denied health insurance for any reason.

200 Economists Ask Lawmakers to Repeal Obamacare


A majority of states have now joined a federal lawsuit challenging the democrat’s unpopular Obamacare bil


The major problem with PapaObama Care is a marked shift of authority and control of health-care decisions to the government which will create many inefficiencies.

You may believe it will be "more equal" but do you really believe you will have the same doctors and coverage as the President or any other politicians. We only need to see how the last congress excluded themselves from PapaObama care to see this is not true.

If you believe this then I have some "Hope and Change" to sell you


There is only two things that are "surprising' here
1) you seem to support PapaObama Care
2) that signature line of yours, sorry but the moving gif is pretty gay

As for my signature, too bad if you don't like it.

He has a rotating Obama face painted like joker with a hammer and sickle on his forehead as his avatar!!! He's actually serious too, that's the best part.

Just something you would hate- the truth

Keep the sig, it fits you perfect

You said a lot that was just laughable but since you said this was the major problem, I'll reply to this.....

So giving insurance companies more customers is shifting control of health care decisions to the government how?

 

[Modbert]

I'll take that as a no.

Supporting PapaObama care makes you wrong and puts you in the minority of Americans

Look at the good side, your sig still fits you
