(9,186 posts)Tell my grandson, who was born preemie, that preemie is a preexisting condition so his asthma, his food allergies are all why he is ineligible to be insured.
They want to tell my brother, who battles lung cancer that he has reached his "lifetime limit" and now must die. They won't cover any more treatments. (You know, Sarah Plain and stupid's death panels)
They want to tell my younger brother they are dropping him because he did not reveal that he suffered from seizures (preexisting condition!) over 20 years ago.
They want to be able to tell my son his rates are going to skyrocket now because that "suspicious mole" is melanoma and that is just tough shit for him.
"They" would do that to all in the 47%, which is what THEIR definition of "fair" is.
These "in case shit happens" companies are in it for the money only. not your welfare.
