re: Holy shite, just went to enroll in health benefits - UPDATED

well someone's gotta pay for the 47% who dont pay taxes in this country to get health care. I dont know all these increases everyone is talking about bc my blue cross blue shield plan for me and the lady only went up $10 this year when it was time for our increase but I did see lots of people seeing significant bumps. The thing that cracks me up is the architect of obamacare is on video saying its the fault of the voters who were too ignorant to deny it that it even exists.

The entire idea our government has that insurance companies should be covering pre-existing conditions is just proof that government doesn't get the purpose of insurance. Insurance is an instrument used to hedge against a risk of loss. If the loss has already happened in the form of someone having a condition, then "insurance" is just free money. That's why you can buy insurance before you wreck your car but oddly enough can't buy insurance after you wreck your car.

There has to be another way to insure people that are deemed high risk but what we put in place was comical and hurt everyone. I've been fortunate enough it hasnt hit me yet.
