And I don't think I know a family that hasn't lost someone to cancer. Sad, but true!

How about city and state tax payers shouldn't have to offer police and fire protection to businesses and corporations. Suck it dry you selfish shit stain.

Just when I think they can't be any worse, one comes up with a heartless statement like this. Has he never had a family member stricken with cancer? Just the diagnosis can be so devastating. To add another layer of stress by taking away insurance coverage is just plain cruel.

Before this our chances in Indiana were ok, but still much less than 50/50...now I bet we have improved that greatly...

that mourdock! what a liberal!

And I loathe insurance companies.

Yes, we should be free to move from employer to employer without worrying about health coverage. Health coverage should not be used as handcuffs to keep us working for the same miserable employer.

Universal health coverage is the answer. Let the employers compete for labor on wages alone. Get them out of the health care equation.

medical benefits and save the state some money.

Hope you don't have bad genes or smoke, pal.

cover asshattery by douche bag GOP wannabes?

Just when you think they couldn't get any more callous...

It gives the employer too much power over the employee. It should be an independent and portable item that isn't even a consideration in one's career decisions.

I personally believe that health insurance mandates and requiring employers to offer full service plans will be bad for employees and small business financially. I predict many current employer-based plans as we know them today will be dropped in the next few years and people will be left to pay rapidly increasing premiums mostly on their own.

This could be the plan all along. The Affordable Care Act could have been designed to fail from the beginning as a stepping stone to a single-payer style system. Think about it, when the healthcare premiums alone start bankrupting people and businesses and they are mandated to pay them, action will be demanded to correct the situation and for the government to step in.

Of course the danger with a Medicare style universal plan is that access to care and quality could diminish if the government low-balls all the providers and they don't have private insurance to cover the gap anymore.

he's just one of many in these parts. Aren't we proud?
We've created monsters.
Politician.
Monster.

the way we are going. Get what you can anyway you can or you will be a homeless person someday. Oh, and don't burden society if you get sick, put a bullet in your brain instead.

whined about last election cycle.

... from decades ago, and their "never pay insurance policy". Very reasonable, as long as you don't have a claim.

is SINGLE PAYER HEALTHCARE FOR ALL - then your precious employers won't feel they are hard done by when one of their employees is unfortunate enough to fall ill - no matter what the cause.

need to realize that the alternative is corporations. And corporations will do anything to save money, including making the decision to only cover "preventative health care" and cutting you loose if you get sick.

Corporations don't answer to anyone, they make their own rules.

I don't understand why corporations are chomping at the bit to get a single pay plan in place so that they don't have to spend ANY money on health care.

corporations are people too

it's as if they were hatched yesterday.

really like it if an insurance company just got to collect premiums and didn't have to pay out for any treatment. What would be the point in buying insurance if it didn't cover major illnesses?

Thanks to our elected leaders, our government says we have to buy it, or they'll sic the IRS on us.

companies must cover and how much of every dollar must be paid out in claims. Read the bill.
