<snip> There's a bill that would mean we'd never be rejected for health insurance or have it canceled. Health insurance that could ease our final years, or maybe even save us. <snip>

As unwieldy as the bill is it has been easy for the proponents to obscure (or remain unaware of) the fact that the above cited 'fact' about the Senate HCR bill is untrue. It is appalling to me that our lawmakers who crafted this abomination of a bill can still stand up and repeat this talking point when they know perfectly well the bill does not forbid rescissions. One huge concern if the bill is passed is massive numbers of people who think they are safe from having their policies cancelled will find just that happening to them and will, only then, realize the loophole was not closed.
