14,000 People lose their Health Insurance each day in the US- |
|
that's quite a few people who are unlikely to be "happy" with thier present coverage any longer. http://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/2009/02/health_in_crisis.htmlThis might be a worthwhile talking point at "Town Hall" meetings?

2. evenif they find insurance again |
|
they will likely be facing waiting periods for coverage to actually kick in. This is another hole in the net. Someone could have been paying into insurance for 30 years but if their employer downsizes them out - tough.

3. and if they have a pre-existing condition they'll either have |
|
to refuse treatment for it for a certain amount of time (not possible for many) or they are out of luck. (like me)
:( I don't think people are thinking very clearly on this issue.
