Open letter2my Cngrsmn: in favor of health insurance reform based on personal experience
I was able to carry my non-profit Blue Cross Blue Shield til Antehm
bought them out and pumped up the premiums. Once I hit 60 the premiums
went through the roof and I could no longer afford health insurance.

This plus the industry's refusal to refrain from 'red flagging' the industry refuses coverage for a life or death course of treatment
on the basis of some irrelevant innocuous failure to disclose by
supposedly insured]
where some insurance agent gets a bonus for denial of treatment.

I think the only way to curb these predatory practices is to adopt a
public choice option. The paid propaganda pumping lobbyist funded
political operatives have a
talking point: Do you want a government bureaucrat between you and your
doctor?

My response is: Do you want some insurance agent between you and your
doctor, an insurance agent who gets a bonus for denying you the
coverage you paid for over the years?

Thank you.

I am a constituent. I get no funding from nobody.
