Reply #59: and who is considered a catastrophic case... [View All]

[burr]

a victim of a severe heart-attack, a diabetic in average health, a dying cancer patient, a person on kidney dialysis, or what about a person with Addison's disease?

It seems to me that this is a line which is very hard to draw. Finally, does this mean that Kerry is allowing businesses to not offer the same coverage to castastrophic cases..that they do to their other employees?

My understanding of Kerry's plan is that it reimburses insurance companies for covering catastrophic cases only in this new government pool people can buy into, but that it does not reimburse them for the catastrophic cases they insure outside of the government pool in normal business. Is this understanding correct? :shrug:
