American Health Care Redux
Here is just the latest example of what it takes to get health care in America these days, a lawsuit. It is not enough to have coverage and be current on your payments to get health care, because if a person gets really sick and the treatments cost a lot of money the insurer will cut you loose. We are forced to recognize this has become standard operating procedure for the health insurance industry. I did not see the article appear locally today, so in the spirit of spreading the good news here is the Los Angeles Times most recent example of corporate crime against people with serious illnesses.

I've got an idea, how about I don't pay for insurance and then when I get sick just charge the company? Wouldn't that be the same thing? posted by

Well, if it's ok to deny someone something they've paid for, it should also be fine to take what you haven't paid for. They've divorced the payments from the service, I really don't see the issue. posted by
