Do conservatives not understand how important it is to protect pre-existing conditions?

[Toddsterpatriot]

10s of millions Americans would be affected by this. Either conservatives do not even understand this subject, or they believe it won’t affect them personally. That’s their “I got mine - fuck everyone else philosophy”. Of course once they realize it will affect them, only then would they support the protections.

That’s America for you.

Republicans don’t care – they adhere blindly to the failed dogma of Social Darwinism, believing that only those who can afford access to healthcare should have access to healthcare; and that those who don’t have access to affordable healthcare have only themselves to blame, that they lack access to affordable healthcare due to their own failings and incompetence, and should do without access to affordable healthcare as a consequence.

Hence the reprehensible right.

It's even worse than that, Republicans also understand insurance and math.

No, they do not understand insurance at all.

Allowing people who didn't have insurance to get it after they are sick is the opposite of insurance.

Insurance is for the unexpected...You don't wreck your car, then go to your insurance agent demanding collision coverage for your "pre-existing condition"... Either socialists won't understand this, or are just plain stupid.

That's the GIBSMEDAT! culture for you.

You idiot. The point is that healthcare shouldn’t be treated like it’s insurance. You equating car insurance as justification for rejecting healthcare coverage is ridiculous

What Americans bought, before the libs got a hold of it, was health insurance. Your imbecile theory that insurance shouldn't be treated like insurance is pure mental retardation. Prior to Medicare and Medicaid, Americans paid for their day-to-day medical expenses out of their own pocket. Insurance was only for major expenses like surgury or cancer care. That's all it should be for.

You are the one who is plain stupid. Someone should be able to get affordable health insurance. I would call a pre-existing condition unexpected. No one expects to be born sick or develop a sickness that will not go away. When the compassion was passed out you must have been out to lunch.

Your kind of compassion ruins more lives than it will ever help.

Do you believe you have compassion?

Definition of compassion:

: sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it

Definition of COMPASSION

Is that something you see in yourself?

health insurance premiums went from $5K in 1999 to $13k in 2008

lets kill obamacare.

RW logic at its best.

Ah yes, the Republicans fantasy,
a return to the good old days.

I don't see you volunteering to support any welfare families, Deanr.

Do conservatives not understand how important it is to protect pre-existing conditions?

Do dumb ass liberals not understand it doesn't take a 2,000 page Obamacare bill and 10's of thousands of pages of government regulations to protect pre-existing conditions? There was bi-partisan support for this and a dozen or so common sense healthcare system improvements that would have fit in a 200 page bill. But Dem's drunk on victory told the other half of the country to STFU and crammed through Obamacare. They paid the price in 2010 the American people bitch slapped them and they lost the House. Then they lost the Senate. Then the White House. You would think your average liberal would get a clue.

The Republican bills were soundly rejected by voters. Obamacare has gotten more popular since Republicans have shown their ideas. They will likely lose the House. Maybe the Senate.

They were the good old days before the left totally fucked this country up.

What Republican bills?

Fuck pre existing conditions. That is nothing more than welfare to have a government mandate to require that insurance companies accept somebody that didn't pay into the insurance pool.

Liberals don't understand the concept of what insurance is all about. It is not welfare. It is pooling. You pay in when you are well and take out when you are sick. If you don't pay in then you shouldn't be allowed to take out.

All filthy Liberals want is for somebody else to pay their bills. Despicable!

You just made the perfect case for a mandate. You are the despicable person.

It is your responsibility to pay your bills Moon Bat. Stop being so greedy SOB demanding other people pay for you. That makes you an asshole. You are not entitled to my money just because you are alive. Go pay your own bills and that includes your health care .

Empty-headed platitudes and recriminations are not arguments.

 

[busybee01]

Any liberal can, at any time, step in and cover somebody’s Preexisting confition. That isn’t the point. The demand that other people pay for it is always the real point of socialism.
And temper tantrums follow.

It is not socialism. You have no clue what you are talking about. Insurance is about sharing costs.

Under Obamacare, the parasites don't "share" costs. They impose their costs on others.

There's no end to the "compassion" of commieprogs when they're spending someone else's money.

You are the fucking asshole. SOB s like you don't give a damn about anyone but yourself. Go find a desert island and you don't have to pay for anything. You get all sorts of subsidies from others that you don't complain about.

That's why it can't include pre-existing conditions.

I'm still waiting for your argument. You seem to have a black hole where your mind is. Not one of the analogies makes a bit of sense.

So older people and people with pre-existing conditions are parasites. You are a true fucking asshole .
