you can get insurance, however, if you had continuous coverage of insurance and a pre-existing condition you can get insurance

If can wait until 2014, (unless of course the pre-existing condition doesn't kill you), then you won't have to worry about being denied coverage for a pre-existing condition, that is of course is provided the repugs don't win and repeal the affordable healthcare act

The republicans are scum, but the Democrats are not particularly my friend either. Why would they write such convoluted legislation?

Even COBRA or HIPPA is written in such a way that if you screw up on a deadline you will lose any opportunity for coverage under those programs

It says something about a government that won't provide basic healthcare for its citizens

The ACA plan is better than nothing, but it wasn't made to help its citizens, it was made to help health insurance companies

If this country really wanted healthcare for all, they would have single payer, or medicare for all. Even that isn't free, but at least it is a lot more affordable for a lot more people
