[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There needs to be more options for health insurance

Obamacare actually increased insurance costs for many people because it covers stuff that many people need

[b]Health Insurance should be more like Auto Insurance you select the level of coverage you actually need[/b]

As far as preexisting conditions are concerned all the bills never kicked people off as long as they didn't have a lapse in coverage of more than I think 6 months which makes sense and solves the free rider problem

This is such an awful comparison. What happens when you get cancer, but you bought cheap "coverage" that doesn't include cancer? Either you die in misery (I don't want to live in a country like that....especially when we are the richest country in the world) or you leave the hospital/doctors to eat the cost of your care and they pass along those costs to me (the scenario being proposed by the GOP)?

How about we just make it a statutory requirement that all plans cover cancer? That makes it cheaper for everyone in the long run. [/quote]

And there is another issue here too pp- comprehensive coverage can often catch small health problems before they become “big” problems.  The Republican posters above are proposing catastrophic coverage- hello it’s much cheaper to treat health conditions BEFORE they become “catastrophic.”  I would rather that the diabetic be covered BEFORE he needs to amputate his foot, so that we never reach that point.

So what do we have- humans need health insurance for minor AND catastrophic health issues.  What’s the word for that?  Oh yeah UNIVERSAL coverage!  I think that was the point of some law what was it called?  Oh yeah OBAMACARE!![/quote]

If people really believed in the benefit of catching small things before they turned into big things, we would not have the obesity problem (i.e. type 2 diabetes) of more than half of adults.[/quote]
