How can Repubs not clap for "Not allowing Insurance Companies to deny due to preexisting conditions
Seeing John Boehner's stoic look sitting in silence sends a devastating message.

3. Agreed....They Are SO Disgusting
...they couldn't care less if someone loses their coverage if/when they get sick or is denied coverage due to a "pre-existing condition" so long as they can keep the tax rates on their rich friends down.

4. I don't think you have a firm grip on who we are dealing with here.
They don't believe in that kind of idea at all. Their devotion to the official state secular religion is absolute.

5. Because R's believe that insurance companies should be able to deny sick people the
same coverage as healthy people and insist that it would lower costs by forcing sick people to pay more for health insurance. Didn't hear R's claiming that medical costs were sky high because people dared to get sick after getting health insurance or the R's trying to link health insurance to auto insurance? Because all Americans know putting health insurance on sick people was like putting full coverage auto insurance on a $500 auto.

8. huckabe once said:
that is like selling someone fire insurance after their house burned down.

They really are different creatures than Democrats. Health insurance for them is about the shareholder profits - not health care for those who are sick.

9. They think it's like forcing Homeowner's Insurance companies to give you an insurance
policy after your house has already burned down.
