Can someone explain WHY it would be a good idea to leave it off any healthcare bill?
Other than for the insurance companies, what benefit does it offer of taking it away?

It brings costs down significantly.

This is a bit before my time, but were individuals denied Medicaid for preexisting conditions?

White people or the subnormals, be more specific?

Only for those lucky enough to not have any.
Otherwise some people will have to decide whether or not they can afford to cover themselves for something they have no control over.

So cancer or thyroid problems or kidney stones, etc... are accidents like a house fire?
It's thinking like this that actually empowers the insurance companies to rip you off.

It's not insurance at that point. It's like buying auto insurance after the car is wrecked

Right.
What we are actually doing is burying a welfare component into an insurance policy. The problem with doing that (and we’re seeing it here) is that insurers are very good at insuring, but absolutely terrible at welfare.
There is no answer to this type of coverage besides single-payer universal health care and requiring all health care providers to be not-for-profit.
That is if you even want to talk about health insurance, which is kind of dumb, since you are trying to insure against a virtual certainty, where the only question is how much will the damage be.

A car wreck can be blamed on someone and held to a fault.
Whose fault is it if you get cancer? If you do get it, you have to choose between life or death if you can't afford coverage?
-
I'm very libertarian and think every functional adult should take personal responsibility.
BUT...
The 1984 Supreme Ct decision forces hospitals to treat people in the ER.
This cost gets passed on to our premium rates.
Sounds bad , but, Medicaid expansion can prevent a lot of that.
Who pays for Medicaid expansion? And How?

yes, it's called going to the emergency room and having all your fellow citizens pick up the bill
-
No, Yamcha. You cannot.
FTFY

you're right,
I never thought about that
Jesus - I really am a fucking moron
yes, you are

Thats EMTALA and has nothing to do w the failure of ThugCare aka ObamaCare
In fact - w the passage of the failed ObamafagCare - its only gotten worse.

well it's an idiotic comparison to start with but if we're conflating a fire at your house to your health care then that's the equivalent of an unexpected health emergency
let's review the idiotic comparison even further
If you own a property and have a mortgage you are REQUIRED to have insurance
If you let your insurance lapse the lender will purchase insurance and send you the bill
If your property is free and clear you would be a world class moron not to have insurance
Let's say your home is worth 300k (not where I live but average nice house in this country) your annual insurance would cost ~ 450 bucks or 37.50
If you could buy health insurance for 37.50 a month this entire topic would be a non-issue
let's take this idiotic premise a bit further
let's say you own a 300k home free and clear and you're stupid enough to not have insurance and it burns down
you can still sell the land or build a new house or just go buy a new house
If you have a catastrophic health crisis and it's fatal (your house burns down) you can't just go out and get another life (well maybe you can if you believe in reincarnation)
so yeah, health insurance is exactly the same and insurance on your home
really no difference at all
-
So the guy that didn't carry coverage on the house - can he get it yes or no while house is on fire ?
ER also does not chemo and cancer treatment

can you buy comprehensive health insurance for ~ 37.50 a month
If your your house burns down can you rent or buy a new house?
there is no comparison between insurance for your health and insurance for your house
Also, if you have cancer you can go to the emergency room over and over again for complications
let's say you have a brain tumor, you will likey have seizures and with no health care what do you think your family will do
you'll have a seizure and they will call an ambulance and you will wind up in the emergency room

Not paying for people's health insurance is now being equated with killing them.
Great. It's pure virtue signalling. If liberal's really feel this outraged about preexisting conditions, why don't they just offer to help pay those individual's bills once we get rid of Obama care?
My dog doesn't have health insurance but I offer to pay his bills because I love him. Plus he's predisposed to hip dysplasia

Elizabeth Warren on House GOP healthcare plan: 'People will die'
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 5/4/17 | Kyle Feldscher
Posted on 5/4/2017, 3:57:34 PM by
Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren called the House GOP's plan to repeal and replace parts of the Affordable Care Act a "cruel" way to enrich the wealthy and cut insurance from many Americans.
"Trumpcare isn't a health care bill. A bill that destroys health care for millions to shovel cash to the rich isn't a health care bill," Warren tweeted.

Although the Trump administration's new healthcare bill has yet to pass the Senate, Hollywood stars have already vowed revenge on the GOP.
On Thursday afternoon, the House voted narrowly (217 to 213) to repeal Obamacare and replace it with the American Health Care Act. Immediately, celebrities condemned the "felons," accusing them of "entitlement," "fraud" and "hypocrisy." Many urged resistance, while actor Ron Perlman even threatened California's Republican House members.

As long as the healthcare industry is for profit and making a ton of money costs will never go down. Single payer national plan may be a good idea.

Cher: No Money To Treat My Asthma After House Obamacare Repeal
breitbart.com ^ | 4 May 2017
Posted on 5/5/2017, 3:43:00 AM
Pop icon Cher took to Twitter Thursday to blast the House’s passage of the American Health Care Act, lamenting that the bill’s signature into law would threaten to cut funding to treat her asthma.
In her signature tweeting style of using emojis for words, the 70-year-old singer called the passage of the AHCA on Thursday “insanity,” and called President Donald Trump a “mad King George III president.”
On Wednesday, the Billboard Music Awards announced that Cher would receive the Icon Award at its upcoming ceremony in May. The singer is expected to sing her hit song “Believe” in her first awards show performance in more than 15 years.

Yes, they find it morally ok to take from others to give to someone else. Very loving people that they cannot give of their own accord. They could care less about the family who now cannot provide well for their own family due to paying for everyone else's.

Considering their penchant for homosexuality and closet gay fetishes, I don't doubt it.

The one that they selected to keep components from Obamacare from.
Congress choose to exempt themselves from Trumpcare. Why is that? A chef that doesn't eat his own cooking isn't to be trusted.

Sobbing MSNBC Guest Says AHCA ‘Isn’t the America That I Love,’ Lacked ‘Empathy’ for Life
Newsbusters ^ | May 5, 2017 | Curtis Houck
Posted on 5/5/2017, 2:23:08 PM by kevcol
On Thursday’s All In with Chris Hayes, MSNBC guest and Boing Boing co-editor Xeni Jardin broke down sobbing over the House passage of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) as a “devastating” event that’s not “the American that I love” and promising to “fight for every single one of you, America.”
Hilariously, the liberal simultaneously demanded that “[e]very single cell in this country, every single person in this country deserves life” but must have realized her far-left mistake as she later emphasized that “[t]he America that I love cares about my right to life, even though I’m 46 years past being a fetus.”

Health insurance is a scam and should be revamped. I'm not for government intervention in a lot of things, and don't care for ACA, but the insurance industry has gotten out of control. As a business man I see the reason to deny based on pre existing conditions or overcharge for it, but when talking about people it's not right. If we can help, we should.
