Rolain’s husband, Robert, said the couple began trying to sign up in November, well ahead of the Dec. 15 deadline for January coverage. After wrestling with repeated sign-up problems, the Rolains bought a plan that took effect in March. But they said Xerox staffers miscommunicated the policy’s effective date, so they didn’t know until May that they had coverage.

Linda Rolain was first diagnosed with a brain tumor in early 2014, after a seizure in late 2013. Robert Rolain said in a June 19 news conference at the downtown Las Vegas offices of Callister, Immerman and Associates that his wife’s care was delayed for months because of their insurance troubles.

Robert Rolain alleges his wife’s tumor went from treatable in winter to fatal in spring as the couple fought for coverage.

Linda Rolain was admitted to hospice care in early June.

This is SOCIALISM.. Take a good look.

No, it isn't Socialism, nothing of the kind. Universal Single-Payer would have solved this, which is why we need it, soon...

Give me your, obviously incorrect, definition of socialism so you can prove that government programs that shouldn't be run by the government is not socialism.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

No...that's capitalism. Xerox screwed up not the Government.

Conservative logic...It's raining outside...OBAMA!

It's most certainly is not Capitalism. The ObamaCare mess is the result of Big Government Cronyism.

If it were socialism it would be handled by the government...not a private company like Xerox. Hence, Capitalism.

It was handled by the government, hence...?

Stories like these occur all the time in Canada and the UK. A majority of Canadians claim they are happy with their healthcare system, but that's only because they haven't really needed it. When they do, they find their life is threatened by the healthcare bureaucracy.

That would certainly explain why $arah Palin went to Canada for healthcare for herself and her family - until the RW fools made her rich, that is.

My aunt and my cousin both work in healthcare in canada and even they say it sucks if you get seriously ill.
A friend of theirs just came to Texas to get treated for cancer because the wait in canada would have killed him.
I was in Jamaica a few years ago and there was a guy from england with a broken ankle with nothing more then a brace. THEY DIDNT EVEN FIX IT!!! They put a brace on it while he waited to have it operated on. This of course required them to re break the ankle because it healed while in the brace.
This is what we have to look forward to.

Xerox is a publicly traded for profit multinational corporation with assets in the neighborhood of $30 billion and revenue at $22 billion in 2012. Any insurance healthcare provider Rolain would have signed up with would be a part of the private sector.

With that said, how is that socialism? THAT, darlin', is capitalism, pure and simple.

Hint, anytime the government mandates something it is not capitalism.

Xerox acquiring a contract from the government is not capitalism? All the private companies in the country who do contract work that includes government work are not capitalist enterprises?

And what does the mandate have to do with it? Did this woman die because she didn't want insurance but was being forced into it?

That makes even less sense than the usual paltry amount you produce.

 

[NYcarbineer]

With single payer she wouldn't have been fighting with a messed up insurance operation in order to get treatment, would she?

Are Medicare recipients dying of brain tumors because of coverage problems?

 

[Misty]

She had insurance but it probably didn't meet the Obamacare coverage rules. That is a problem many people are experiencing.

This Obamacare thing has been a fuck up since day one.

They have now found out that many people applied for subsidies that don't qualify for them. It's a mess.

Don't you just love how all of the Obama mushbrains love to leave out this little gem:

Rolain’s husband, Robert, said the couple began trying to sign up in November, well ahead of the Dec. 15 deadline for January coverage. After wrestling with repeated sign-up problems--

Had you leftist FUCKS left everyone the hell alone and minded your own fucking business instead of CRAMMING down that STINK PILL that is Obamacare, this woman would have had continuous coverage, PERIOD.. Now you Socialists are beginning to reap what you've sown and this entire country nearly despises your boy king..

as noted Obamacare was out of the picture and the lady was at the mercy of the system ... or are you saying if the lady had Obamacare her life would have been saved ?

Quite frankly, I don't believe you know exactly what you're saying do you?

Hint, anytime the government mandates something it is not capitalism.

A mandate is little more than a law.

Consequently, a law to require people (drivers) to have automobile insurance (though a private or public corporation) does not make the transaction between parties (insurer and insured) socialism since the state is not a party to the transaction and doesn't actually do the insuring.

They're private contracts where the price is set by competition even though insurance companies are heavily regulated to assure that the companies remain financially viable in order to pay any and all valid claims instead of just collecting premiums and declaring bankruptcy at a later date and leaving policy holders holding worthless policies if and when a natural disaster should happen.

Why is this so hard to understand, government involvement in any form means it is not capitalism.

As for Xerox, when it does business with other businesses, it would be engaged in capitalism. When it has a government contract, it isn't.

What does the mandate have to do with it? Wasn't she under government orders to buy insurance through the government run website? How is the mandate not involved? I signed up for insirance in December through Covered California, and didn't get approved until I got up in the face of an idiot who was trying to tel me I wasn't eligible after I found out my life depended on the abortion that is Obamacare.

Any other stupid questions?

LOL, how? Xerox was handling her information and failed to inform her...how is that the governments fault?

She was fighting with a government run website that didn't work, how would single payer, AKA government, have worked better than the government?

I have already debunked everything you said in this post, why are you repeating it? Are you a masochist, or just incredibly stupid?

I know you think you have a point, but the fact is that it was the government that employed Xerox, thus it was a government operation., not capitalism.

Seriously not this again..

How is it not? Didn't the government select Xerox, and pay them to misinform her?

 

[Vandalshandle]

Under the Pre-ACA capitalistic health insurance model, her brain tumor would have made her uninsurable for the rest of her life, with no options at all.

Nope, It was handled by Xerox, who was contracted by the State government to build the exchanges. Xerox screwed the pooch, not the government.

Xerox got the contract, that's capitalism...like when Boeing get a contract.

 

[Mephisto]

The government screwed up.

LOL, how? Xerox was handling her information and failed to inform her...how is that the governments fault?

No...they paid them to set up the exchanges. Xerox staff missinformed her. Xerox =/= government. In fact it's a publicly traded multinational corporation, the exact opposite of government.

She already had insurance, numskull.
