[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not just for healthcare, but I don't understand the mentality that anyone is entitled to the money of others for solving personal problems and that this entitlement should be enforced through force of federal law. [/quote]

Op here.  So, why don’t you apply your mentality to my example.  Should my 7 year old not receive treatment when my insurance kicks her off because I don’t have $100,000 sitting around?  Should the insurance company be allowed to do that?[/quote]

I'm sorry OP, I can't speak to your situation, it's not my place to talk about something so personal to you and a situation that I would not wish onto anyone. Hypothetically speaking, insurance is just that, insurance: the insurer accepts premium payments in return for paying out for loss that is unforeseen. If an insurance company is asked to pay for an event that has already occurred in the past before premiums were being paid, then that's no longer insurance. By all means I believe we should have discussions whether our society should have programs protecting against cases of potential catastrophic loss, but that discussion should not be cast in the light that insurance companies are evil or that anyone who wants to limit the scope and size of such a program is evil. Our desire for the wellbeing of the people we love is and hold on as much as possible to our material possessions are strong, but it cannot overcome the individual freedom of others through. If a majority of us locally agree that this is something our society needs to spend money on, like we do for fire fighters, police officers, and etc, then that's all good! I am just pointing out that the entitlement mentality is not a good way to justify these types of programs, and what works here in VA may not work well in TX, just as fire fighters and police officers.

Actually, pp, you can and should speak to my situation because I am asking you to and I made the choice to put this information out because I specifically want people like yourself to discuss it.

So tell me, should my daughter receive treatment or not?  Should my insurance company be allowed to kick her off for a pre existing condition or not?  It’s a really simple question and I’m not interested in letting you slip out of answering it.[/quote]

Clearly you did not read my previous response so I am not going to write any more to you specifically. I do wish you and your loved ones all the best, hope that your situation improves, and that you receive all the help you need.

I did read your response, pp, but I want you to be clearer.  You are hiding your views behind lofty rhetoric and clarity is essential, especially when we are talking about a real person with a real life.

Don’t be ashamed to speak your truth, which is that kids without money should suffer, because “freedom.”[/quote]
