Our debt will explode because of it. My employer has already stated that they will force everyone in the company over onto the government plan and that they will refuse to carry any insurance on employees if it goes through.
So I get to lose my coverage that I have been paying for years all because people like you want to offload your bill onto me. You're such a nice person. |
First of all; I also have private insurance. Even though I'm partially paralyzed; I am not on Medicare, I have been self-employed for almost 20 years.I've made great money investing in real estate and MLP's over the years and made myself financially comfortable. I am not offloading my bill(s) on you- I pay mine.
But you are correct; I do support healthcare reform. Why then? Because untouched, those top of the line insurers have been shown that their bottom-line profits supercede their insuring interests.
Dropping someone who has paid his premiums(even in these tough economic times) because he has now been diagnosed with cancer? One of my reasons. Declaring that being a victim of spousal abuse is grounds for denial of coverage or a pre-existing condition for women? Another reason.Insurance companies dominating the markets in certain states? Another reason. I can think of more, but you should get my point.
Financially? Most bankruptcies filed in the last 20 years listied major medical debt as a main cause. We just cannot continue on this path as a nation- period. I know there are many who disagree with my feelings. That's fine with me. Your reasons are your own; my reasons are mine.
Where I strongly disagree with you is your assertion that everyone who supports healthcare reform is a "lazy fuck who doesn't want to pay their own bills. News Flash: There are plenty of good people in America who; like yourself pay their bills. One catastrophic and/or unfortunate illness has destroyed their hopes and dreams; cost them their home. I'm fortunate that this never happened to me, but there are plenty whom it has happened to. I'm personally offended that this even happens at all in America. Does that make me a bleeding heart liberal? You could say that; but labels don't bother me.
As I've said before: It's time to accept that healthcare reform is going to happen. It's time (way past it) to now decide on the best ways to implement it; not to try and block it.
