I don’t know. I do know that I have a friend who has a grand-daughter, who had an injury that was covered while she was in college. She dropped for 1 (one) semester and now the same insurance company won’t insure her as it is a pre-existing condition. Is this right?

I know folks who work hard, not bums or homeless, but work for stores, delivery services, etc., 40 hours a week+, who can’t afford health insurance. Is this right?

Rates in California recently went up as much as 39%. Is this right?  If the price of gasoline (in my case diesel) went up 30% in one day would you be screaming?

He may be wrong. The country for the most part thinks he is. The bill is terrible flawed but we have to do something. Maybe we should start again – but only if we mean to provide health care to our citizens who need it IN SPITE of what FOR PROFIT insurance companies want. We can’t let hard working Americans be victimized by insurance companies and their lobbyists. It is time to get corporations out of our government.
