November 9, 200916 yr This is the first step in America becoming a nationalized Socialist nation. I totally disagree. This is just the next step.
November 9, 200916 yr Author I find it almost humorous that people are ok w/ us losing more and more rights. We did win the war for freedom right? The notion that we have rights now when our health situation is being considered by insurance companies is laughable.
November 9, 200916 yr The notion that we have rights now when our health situation is being considered by insurance companies is laughable. The notion that bigger government is ever good is laughable. There's a lot of laughing going on I guess.
November 9, 200916 yr With this healthcare bill, the federal government is now the nation's largest firm of proctologists.
November 9, 200916 yr This is the first step in America becoming a nationalized Socialist nation. I thought that was when the following started: 1. Medicare and Medicaid 2. Brown v Board of Education 3. Civil Rights Act 4. Busing
November 9, 200916 yr I'm trying to understand the furor here. Whether or not it passes the House, it won't make it through the Senate. I could understand if the Senate had passed it, but not this. It's still not a done deal so why respond as if it were? And, nWo points out some very good rebuttals to the "one step closer" argument.
November 9, 200916 yr The notion that we have rights now when our health situation is being considered by insurance companies is laughable. It is unbelievable that you think an insurance company has anything to do with your rights. They sell a product, you have the ability to buy what they sell or not buy the product. The contract you sign with them lists what will happen in certain situations. If you do not like their contract, do not sign it and pay for your own bills. That is freedom. Once again, health-care is not a right and insurance companies are in business to make a profit, which there is no shame in making a profit. Last week on 55KRC's Brian Thomas show he mentioned that Medicare has $60 billion in fraud compared to the 10 largest insurance companies profits of $8 billion. To me there are bigger problems than legal profits to deal with. Such as a big, bloated, inefficient, domineering government.

So you're saying that in the policy for the friend of TB&G it said "we will/can drop you with 2 cancer treatments left????"

November 10, 200916 yr So you're saying that in the policy for the friend of TB&G it said "we will/can drop you with 2 cancer treatments left????" If you are entitled to recieve those treatments then you can sue the insurance company for denial of service. You'll definitely be a sympathetic plaintiff so if you have any case at all you stand a good chance of winning. Perhaps you'll win big. However, you can only sue the government if they let you sue them. Good luck with that under Pelosi's health care system!
November 10, 200916 yr So you're saying that in the policy for the friend of TB&G it said "we will/can drop you with 2 cancer treatments left????" What most likely happened is she reached her coverage limit. You guys may call it heartless, but at some point insurance companies have to put a cap on the amount of money they spend to care for a person.
November 10, 200916 yr So you're saying that in the policy for the friend of TB&G it said "we will/can drop you with 2 cancer treatments left????" That may be one item to change in a rational reform bill. But you sign a contract and both sides have to live up to their terms of the contract.
November 10, 200916 yr What most likely happened is she reached her coverage limit. You guys may call it heartless, but at some point insurance companies have to put a cap on the amount of money they spend to care for a person. Because so many insurance companies are going bankrupt.
November 10, 200916 yr That may be one item to change in a rational reform bill. But you sign a contract and both sides have to live up to their terms of the contract. I wonder if not getting cancer was part of term that she didn't live up to?
