Politics Trump administration urges Supreme Court to end Obamacare despite the pandemic

It's garbage. Companies might insure people with pre-existing conditions but charge exorbitant rates, or not treat the condition. Ending Affordable Care Act also brings back lifetime limits, so if you have cancer, or need a heart transplant, or have serious Corona virus complications you could reach your limits.
In the past, pre-existing conditions were things as minor as adolescent acne.
I had to pay higher premiums for health insurance on a job than male colleagues because being a woman is a pre-existing condition. It is, but I never thought it was a disease.

 

On the flip side, look at the Dow. Who doesn't have Millions in the Dow? Fuck them.

 

Been in progress for years and years, but thankfully I hear news that a Trump plan that will revolutionize health care is coming out any day now.

 

When I lived in Portland, the place I worked changed insurance providers. They said pre-existing conditions would not be covered for the first year. One woman was pregnant. She lost coverage for her prenatal care, labor and delivery, and neonatal care. Her husband was self employed and covered by her insurance. They both worked so she was ineligible for Medicaid.

Pro life!

 

Trump supporter Eric Erickson said covering pre-existing conditions diminishes personal responsibility.

I am very healthy with no significant bad habits. But I am a woman, age 66, and have arthritis. So I was very irresponsible for being born female and getting old.

 

The idea if you have health problems it's because you behaved badly.

 

Doesn't make sense, does it.

 

Shame on you for choosing to get old and be a woman.
