Termination of individual health policies - hearing - is on right now
Edited on Tue Jun-16-09 10:12 PM by JimWis
on C-Span-2. It can also been seen on live stream on C-span web site. Listening to it now. I did accidentally catch a small portion of this earlier. A gal who is in chemo, with cancer, prognosis not great, testified about her experience with getting her insurance denied after she got sick. Others testified as well. That is panel 1. Panel 2 is the insurance people. Hope they get an earful.

Senator Gingery questioned the lady with cancer. He asked her if in her opinion if she thought that wouldn't it be better to fix the private insurance industry rather than have a bureaucratic government agency handling insurance. She was sitting there, looking sick, and that bastard is playing politics. Arrgh. And he is a doctor.

2. Something to the effect that she didn't know about all that, just that
it needs fixing and needs fixing now. I don't think she cared how it got fixed and didn't look at the various options. She was not feeling well and didn't care about all the politics of it. The impression I got anyway.

Based on what I am listening too now, that part is coming up, but not for awhile yet. Streaming on C-span2 now.
