Insurance companies generally only ask for a 10-year medical history when applying for insurance. If you are 23, what happened when you were 12 usually wont affect anything.
That's funny, the old insurance companies never canceled my insurance until the ACA came along. I can't really see how the rest of what you said is relevant to anything. It's all just a hypothetical mishmash that devout leftists use to demonize an industry they are attempting to destroy and rebuild in their own vision. If a bunch of people get hurt along the way, then so be it.
You make the mistake of thinking that Neo-Conservative is the only alternative to Progressive. In fact, they both lie on the same side of the political compass. A better, truly different, alternative would be liberal. Progressives try to claim that their policies are liberal, some people buy into that tripe. Considering the etymology of the word, it couldn't be further from the truth. Other than that I agree with much of what you say.
So you assume I support Nixon. Hmm. Of course Nixon just signed into law a piece of legislation written by a Democrat, and passed by a Democratic House and Senate.
...showed as much interest in the security of Healthcare.gov, we might actually get somewhere. But of course, why worry about the security of a Big Government project, when you have some evil corporations to kick around.
People used to think there was no ballot space for a black President as well. And then they voted for one, twice. It's not difficult, you just do it. When the right candidate comes along, it will happen.
C'mon man. Nixon is long gone. It's silly to even give him some of the blame. You should always be blaming the people who continue it and refuse to exercise the power to stop it. Stop living in the past.
...on non-vintage bicycles pedaled by non-hipsters in rural areas too? Just checking because their kickstarter videos seem to imply you have to swallow your pride and look like a fashion concious douche to make it work.
It's completely naive to think that decisions made about the funding apparatus for health care won't affect healthcare itself. Yes it is surprising, in fact impossible, to believe that Kathleen Sebelius has devoted more time to my health insurance than I have. How does defending full-blown authoritarianism feel?
Actually, I have a prescription rider that adds $20 a month to that policy. It's interesting that you think Kathleen Sebelius is able to make better decisions about my healthcare than I am.
It works great for me, they do have an extensive network. Are you claiming that ACA exchange plans have extensive networks? News reports and personal experiences seem to show exactly the opposite.
Look up the dean 500 plan. I can't believe you'd waste that much time typing about my health insurance and how I'm so wrong and incapable of making smart consumer decisions. I sure hope you don't have an occupation where you influence public policy.
Here's a Ford Finto you can have for free. What? It exploded? Why didn't you shop around for a different car? Didn't you read the fine print that said there was an elevated risk for immolation?
No, because I'm healthy. Interestingly, they are the only insurer that offers exchange plans in my county. Dean Care is pretty popular in WI, if they had a history of breaking the law and not paying, people would know about it.
Another thought just occurred. If she had a copper level plan bought from the exchange she would still be responsible for more than 10k. So I don't really see how the ACA changes anything.
You're an idiot. There's several examples of states suing health insurance companies for millions and ordering retroactive coverage and reinstatement. It didn't happen often, because states generally did a good job of enforcement. A little time spent doing research rather than regurgitating socialist propaganda about a sytem that was so broken that the government had no choice to take it over, would have shown you this.

How's that strategy working out for ya?

And I'm paying 250% more for inferior insurance, also on the individual market.

It's an act not an ideology. How about Prohibition?
Because I also recognize that progressivism is inherently authoritarian. It can't be imposed without ultimately backing the imposition with force.
What's the excuse for 2012?
Obviously you have never researched the links between Progressivism and Fascism.

Interesting that you are now "reticent" to criticize the quality of my insurance, and have now moved the goalpost to whether it actually pays out.

I love how all these experts seem to know more about my insurance than I do. I think I already posted it in a different thread, but here's a link to a description of my plan. http://www.ehealthinsurance.com/health-insurance-companies/dean-wisconsin/benefit-detail/?health-plan=699
That's just stupid.
