Insurance companies need to be regulated. My son should be able to get GOOD insurance despite having CP.<br /><br />thank you for posting this. It's been so frustrating for me lately because EVERYONE i know has been bashing Obama and the health care reform. And yet, no one has a better alternative. They're not the ones getting denied coverage because of something they can't help but have, or their coverage being pulled because the insurance company doesn't want to pay. <br /><br />When my son was in the hospital our insurance company stuck us with $5k worth of bills OUTSIDE of our out of pocket with know real explaination. Does anyone know if insurance companies will be better regulated so these type of situations are more rare than the norm? or are we still expected to battle it out, with a more then likely negative (for us) outcome?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739498627453680997.post-77752161297699892392010-03-23T15:29:04.921-06:002010-03-23T15:29:04.921-06:00But, to be fair, it doesn't PROVIDE insurance ...But, to be fair, it doesn't PROVIDE insurance for everyone. Only REQUIRES it. Sure, you get a tax break. But really? enough to cover an entire premium? If you're barely making it as it is, you still won't be able to afford insurance. However, I definitely applaud the "pre-existing conditions" changes and such. That was big time needed. Still love you, though.

Not so much that there was a need for lots of discussion and revamping the bill - but that so many people did (and still do) need convincing that this is something the US should attempt at all.<br /><br />But nonetheless. Soon I won't have to have my suitcase packed, ready to head back to Canada, which was Plan B if any of our health plans found out that I had the chicken pox as a child and decided to kick me off, so there is hope.<br /><br />Hope you had an awesome date with Mr. Independent!peitricia maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078280120045810787noreply@blogger.com
