It's always been a conservative position to promote free markets. Insurance companies are free market. Obamacare is socialism.

Nope. They offer you choices. You choose.

You access treatment by showing the girl in the window your insurance card. It's very easy.

They will protect their own profits with sound business practices like PEC clauses.

If you think insurance companies are death panels that I don't know what to tell you. The market would not tolerate an insurance company that was a panel for death. All the business would move to another carrier.


However, let's put the decisions of health care with DMV level employees and then see if your death panels materialize.

So what is the solution for the solid taxpaying law abiding citizen who has played by the rules and has a kid born with serious autism - something no insurance company covered before ACA. Should a guy like this lose his house because he has a sick child. I don't think so.


Or how about if you have cancer, get treated and now are cancer free, and now you want to change jobs, but your new employer's provider won't cover you if you have a relapse?

I have great news for you. Your employer plan doesn't include PEC clauses in the certificate of insurance. You can take the above off your worry list.

Pre-existing means existing before they think "Oh, I need health insurance now."


Do yourself a favor and grow a brain. Pre-existing also includes someone who has been treated for cancer...while covered through their employer provided plan...now wanting to change jobs to an employer who uses a different insurance provider.

It's painful to watch people do this.

Employer plans don't include PEC clauses in their certificates of insurance.

If you think that, tell what state you are in and I'll see if you are right to stress about your scenario.

This is not true and people were routinely denied due to PEC in employer pools.

Please submit a group policy COC or an EOB that has PEC clauses mentioned or a denial code for PEC.

Make sure it's dated.

Yes, but it's called taxation at that point.

Which was why it was a GOOD thing for the ACA TO MAKE PEOPLE GET INSURANCE AND NOT WAIT UNTIL THEY GOT SICK!


The reason they are pissed is because they can't wait until they are 45 to buy their first coverage.

Now they are 36 and having to pay for something they should have been paying into for years.

I wrecked my car. I think I'll buy some pre-exiting condition auto insurance to get it fixed.

I'll make it even easier. It's denial code 51. Find an EOB with that.

Sounds like you want the government to protect Big Insurance's profits at the expense of consumers. Why do you hate the 99%?

Was going to post along these lines Eurocat. In the business world companies that can't afford insurance (startups and those with bad insurance ratings buy insurance from the state high risk pool. It covers the basics for a reasonable cost but that's it. Being in the high risk pool might limit the opportunities for the business but it does provide a way to survive as a business.

A similar approach would work for PEC. Put those people in a high risk pool (someone said it would cost $33 billion a year).

a solution

Always have insurance and you will never be stuck trying to buy insurance with a preexisting condition...pretty simple. I went without health insurance for 1 year because I got totally fricked by Huntsville hospital...but every POS that even looked at me got paid. When open enrollment came around (BC/BS) they told me a year wait on treating any preexisting conditions. I picked up dental through Blue Cross this year and it was 6 months before I could use it.
