Can we please dispense with the BS talking points
I don't want to pay for health care that can just deny me coverage.....

No shit! Neither does anyone else thats why every version of the bills in existence forbid dropping people because they get sick or not covering them for pre-existing conditions.

You know along with that mandate there are restrictions on the insurance companies. Including forcing them to pay out at least 85% of every dollar taken in on actual care as well as ending the practice of dropping people for pre existing conditions and stopping caps on maximum lifetime payouts.


I swear some of you are so focused on the word mandate you cant see past it to anything else these bills say.

4. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about
You can and will be denied care if you have group coverage, because ERISA preemption is still in force. You will also have to pony up for junk insurance (high deductible, high copay- with premiums increasing well beyond the rate of inflation- or wages every year) unless your or your employer want to pay big money- which you likely won't be able to afford.

Those subsidies?

Only for junk insurance.

Man, have you bought into a bill of goods!
