Big gaps in Romney plan on pre-existing conditions

http://news.yahoo.com/big-gaps-romney-plan-pre-existing-conditions-070520547--election.html

"The GOP presidential candidate wants to help those who maintain continuous coverage, a fraction of a much bigger group of people at risk of getting turned down because of medical problems.

Here's the catch: If you had a significant break in coverage, an insurer still could delve into your health care record, looking for anything — from a bad back to high blood pressure — that foreshadows future claims. They'd be able to turn you down.

That's a contrast to President Barack Obama's health care law, which guarantees that people in poor health can get comprehensive coverage at the same rates everybody else pays, and provides government subsidies to help low- to middle-income households pay premiums."

Insurance companies exist for two reasons:

1-To make money

2-To fuck you and your family sideways every chance they get.

And it's comforting to think that his BIG FAT LIE in the debates is still the truth in the minds of a lot of people who don't follow politics. But Biden will make sure everybody understands the truth in just two days. This is something so many people really care about. With that, plus Medicare, plus the lie about the $5 trillion tax cut that he'll be called out on, too... I just don't see how Romney can stay where he is in the polls.
