1. Kick.

2. If all of those things are eliminated, why have insurance at all

since there's nothing left to cover?

[pat_k]

3. The insurance industry wants to pick and choose.

We don't want to cover ALL that stuff. Stop making us!!! Waaa! You must let US decide what's in or out.

5. Exactly, just buy more life insurance.....

[Freethinker65]

4. So seeing a doctor might be covered

Getting a diagnosis or treatment will not be covered at all in some offered plans. Consumer beware. I can already envision the late night infomercial style ads for plans "for as little as $1.00/day your entire family can have this card..."

6. Could be a great job creation

tool for lawyers. Every medical procedure will have at least three to litigate whether it was actually covered in that particular contract.

7. Also great job creation for:

The funeral industry
Bankruptcy lawyers

10. Obama fought hard to get rid of Junk Insurance-now it will be everywhere for

people to buy. And once again, we will all pay in the end.

[Lucinda]

8. I despise these people.

[a kennedy]

11. I'm with you on despising them. Ugh......

[world wide wally]

9. I'm going to start an insurance company!

No benefits at all. Just a collection dept.
