does not cover pre existing conditions

the free market has failed.

Most everything is covered, via Medicare or the supplemental.

for

prevalent in Florida from what I understand.

and the free market system is on the verge of collapse



Why should an insurance company cover a pre-existing condition if the
person
did not have insurance previously?

not very bright here, are you? kinda stupid actually.

what happens when you lose your job and have to get another one? or
you have to self insure?

christ, even for a right wing pimp you're stupid. honest to christ.



If you have insurance when you lose your job, you can continue
insurance.
You are stupid. Cobra if the company is still in buiness. HIPPA if
your
Cobra runs out. And as I said before. If someone has insurance, then
the
next company should be required to grant coverage. If no insurance,
then
you are **** out of luck! I guess you think you should be able to buy
fire insurance the day after your house burns, and be covered.



If you don't, you're screwed. If you use COBRA, it's wildly expensive.
SOL
is your idea of a civil society. got it.




Right-wingers like McKee have no grounding in reality. COBRA is so
expensive, an unemployed person probably cannot afford it. Oh, it is
HIPAA, not HIPPA, and apparently McKee doesn't have any knowledge of how
that works, either.




Actually I have been on both. And you bring up the expensive COBRA. Also
points out how expensive insurance is for a company. COBRA cost can only be
10% more than the company pays for insurance. My wife went on some medicine
just before a company went out of business. So I had to get HIPAA as she
was "uninsurable". Reason I started another company was so I could get a
group plan for affordable health insurance. And you can get Blue Cross with
group with 2 people.
