Repukes Make It Clear: "Banning preex condition clauses is counterproductive"

This memo makes it as clear as the nose on your face that if Republicans have their way, pick up the Senate and God forbid the White House, insurers will be able to deny you coverage based on pre-existing condition exclusions.

Banning preex condition clauses is counterproductive, because it raises premiums and causes coverage to be dropped. It�s also unnecessary, because federal and state laws already offer significant protections, and there are (as we just noted) better ways to help the small group (1 percent) of Americans who face a genuine barrier.

1. So people who need health care won't get it - I see. That's kind of the essence of private insurance

Sooner or later, everyone has a "preexisting condition". Fuck private insurance, fuck all the con men who just foisted it on us. They should all suffer the worst of what they've imposed on others: bankruptcy and lingering death.

2. Oh, just a small percentage

That keeps growing larger and larger for some strange, unknown reason. You just can't explain it! Bill O'Reilly has studied the issue for milliseconds, and he can't explain it!

As for those "better ways" to help Americans who face a genuine barrier, well, that's just not something the Republicans are going to address. Fuckers.
