None of those examples evidence arbitrary cancellation of an individual's policy, and we are only getting one side of the story, as well. This: Supports my contention that claims practices are regulated and companies can't get away with screwing insureds in the name of savings or profits. You can cherrypick horror stories from every walk of life. What I'm telling you is not rhetoric. It's fact. It's what I do.
I was reading through how Obama plans to pay for the bill he proposed and this caught my eye: So here we see it again... Obama seeking to punish evil, greedy, highly compensated.
Guaranteed access to healthcare is a guaranteed lifestyle in the sense that regardless of how you choose to spend your time and money, the government will bail you out financially when your ticker almost explodes from utter abuse and neglect. Will the government still provide healthcare for lifelong smokers? How about those with self-inflicted morbid obesity? How about etc., etc., etc. If I get drunk and lay in the sun all day and get 2nd degree burns, I don't expect you to write the check for my doctors appointment. I was stupid. I should pay - or I should suffer. Some folks call it heartless, I call it a grownup view of how the world actually functions.
When capitalists make big money, they do so through controlled and well calculated risk. Most of them at one point or another put everything they have on the line, risking that the rewards of their knowledge and effort will parlay their investment into profits. It's how America became America. It's how the western expansion happened. Bleeding heart dissertations about the native Americans and early labor problems aside, America is great because you can, through great effort and risk, achieve whatever your level of competence and persistence will allow you to achieve. Ask Obama.
Hey you said it doesn't happen, but it does. There are lots of examples. So what? Your bias is evident.
Once again, you have the notion that health reform is just about paying people who are irresponsible. It affects all of us. You just don't get it. I call it shortsighted and a narrow view of how the world actually functions.
