Whatever you want to call it it's not "insurance" if preexisting conditions exist.

It's not insurance, call it whatever you want to call it but words mean things and it's part of the dumbing down of society to call it "insurance"

Correct.

Obamacare outlawed health insurance.

The bill to repeal Obamacare should be called the 'Health Insurance Re-Legalization Act'.

Agreed. They need to just be honest about what they want. I could respect that.

Who cares what you think.

Too many conservatives have kids with heart conditions or down syndrome or wives with breast cancer and benefit from removing the pre-existing prohibition clauses insurance companies used before Obama care.

Sorry bubs.

Oh, what y'all mean is that people with a "pre-existing" condition should have no access to health insurance. Got it. By the way, an insurance company makes your condition a "pre-existing" condition by jacking up your rates beyond your ability to pay. Then you lose that policy. Then, Bingo, the condition is "pre-existing" and can't be insured. So you are screwed.

That is actually what they used to do.

Do y'all really think it is a conservative value to force people out of health insurance? Actually, that just means you want to increase suffering and degrade public health. That doesn't make you conservative, it makes you twisted and dangerous.

Yet you are the one who can't understand a very simple concept, where did I say I was against plans for sick people? I just said it's not insurance.

He only pointed out a common mistake in terminology.

Per American law, it's only allowed to be called health insurance if it covers pre-existing conditions.

Words have meanings, you know.

And that insurance companies could deny you coverage for a pre-existing condition.

Progress is fun!

Ok, Chief, you start out with so many pronouns that your meaning isn't clear. "It's not insurance." What is not insurance? What the hell are you referencing? The "it" is in your head and you expect us to read your mind. Terrible writing.

Then you persist with an open spigot of pronouns, "call it what you want", "it's part of the dumbing down", "to call it insurance."

"It" could be a car or an elephant. They are not insurance. You could be talking about governmental risk pools. They are like insurance but are not. Who knows? All I see are indefinite pronouns.

So a couple of comments in it seems like you are talking about pre-existing condition exclusion provisions in health insurance policies.

The difficulty with understanding what you were writing about had nothing to do with my reading comprehension. The breakdown was your inability to express in writing what the hell you were talking about.

Hence, you are a terrible writer.

Whatever you want to call it, insurance is much like socialized medicine.

More or less fixed cost for all participants, whether or not it pays for any care.

Minimal market mechanism to limit costs to the program. Once you meet deductible, most stuff is free so doctors just load you up with all kinds of boondoggle tests and treatments.

Only major difference I see is that one is voluntary, but we castigate the people who don't participate.

Not an ACA fan, but people act like private insurance is not risk and cost pooling. It is, and so is socialized medicine.
