Typical male putdown, due to his lack of intellectual horsepower.

No chance of that. She's not interested in such a thing.


And, no response of substance from you. Do you need to post a link? Go

There is already access to high risk pools. The costs are 3 times or more
than for everybody else though.


"States are not required to have an alternative option for medically
uninsurable individuals to access coverage, but most do." Now, there's a
guarantee. Cost wouldn't be an issue if there was a public option or *gasp*
single payer. Everyone's cost would be lower.

Nobody has said, or even said they will limit, what the insurance
companies can charge for all of these new liabilities. The real
showdown will come when our insurance options and prices show up this
fall. The CEO of Caterpillar is estimating this will cost his company
$100 million in additional health care insurance costs. That will get
passed on to the employees, one way or another..

Insurance companies are currently raising prices... did you miss that? It's
a fix that's coming.

I doubt it. His costs are skyrocketting now. Every reputable economist, not
to mention the CBO, predicts savings.



Where is all of the extra medical capacity going to come from to deal
with 31 million new patients?
Supply and demand says the cost of providing care will go up.

I guess they don't make doctors anymore. How sad. Hospitals seem to think
they'll be fine.

And quality and availability will go down. It has to, supply is
relatively inelastic.

Here we have a couple of "haves" hoping to maintain their medical
distance from the "have nots."

No idea if she's interested in that.

Except that I probably will buy something in the next couple of months,
which is what I've said for a while. Now you know.

Not at all. Doctors and hospitals being in demand, will increase supply. Why
don't you create a death panel...
