"It's not fair that individuals don't get the same waiver as big businesses.."

This is the excuse that Republicans are using in opposing "Obamacare". It's a question of "fairness".

Well, if it's a question of "fairness", where is their plan to cover children with pre-existing conditions? Where is their plan to have everyone covered? And where is their plan that assures no one is kicked off their coverage by the insurance companies? And where is their plan that assures no one reaches their lifetime limit and loses their life savings and their homes and everything they have?

It's only "fair" we ask those questions.

they said that big businesses already provide insurance for their employees and it was just a reporting issue.
