"I don't understand why in America you would take away the health insurance when a person loses his job. Isn't that when she needs it?"

SuperDave said:I'm new to this site but accuracy doesn't seem to be a real strong point here. The statement says "the crowd yells let him die", this is simply wrong. One, perhaps two, individuals agreed with the hosts suggestion that someone who finds themselves in the position of desperately needing a major medical insurance policy but not having one should not have his medical expenses covered by money confiscated from hard working, tax paying citizens. The "crowd" did no such thing.
BTW as I pointed out I'm new here so I don't know everyone's personality yet but are you aware of how ridiculous it makes you seem when you post comments like Republicans don't like people.

We downgraded, but thought it was an upgrade (according to our company propaghanda machine) back when we switched insurance companies... Now the situation developed, where as my co-worker went in to get a physical, and he did this because he felt he needed one at 50 years old. He then wildly still ended up with a thousand dollar out of pocket expense in the situation, and he is paying $150 dollars a week for Insurance through the company for this policy...WOW I thought, help the middle is getting killed out here, and no one gives a rats behind about it anymore... It's so sad by what is going on today, and I mean sooooo so sad...When I worked in California we had Cigna insurance but had downgraded to Blue Cross to save money. Everybody was disappointed. I didn't really care because it was the first insurance I ever had through an employer and was thrilled. I also had life insurance. I have nothing now. You have to tell doctors to bill you. You can't go to the best doctors either. It sucks.
It's like no one ever heard of COBRA.
Yah COBRA. Everyone can afford 1,300/mo insurance when they lose their job.
Mine nearly doubled when I lost my job several years ago due to outsourcing to INdia.
I can tell you never used COBRA.
and because it was included as part of your pay.It's like no one ever heard of COBRA.

That's because the employer was picking up the majority of your tab.

The plutocracy offering COBRA to people that can't afford to access the healthcare system-----is like Marie Antoinette offering cake to people without food. ♋
It's not really Americans..it's republicans.
They don't like people.
True story.

Our lefties are very transparent here SuperDave....
So you support a mandated health insurance program?
As someone who values individual freedom over entitlement, I don't expect people to pay 3-4 times what they paid before when they're unemployed in order to get COBRA, though I do know some folks (my mother included) who've used COBRA successfully to transition from one employer plan to the next.
I don't -expect- them to do anything. What they do is entirely up to them....

Because someone still has to pay for it and the government idiotically tied it to employment through tax policies?

COBRA is fine for minor medical coverage in situations like changing jobs. Get really ill and COBRA is a friggin' joke.
