Remember the Good Old Insurance Days WHEN INSURANCE WAS CANCELED BECAUSE YOU USED IT or had a pre-existing condition like Acne. The rates went up by 15 to 20 percent a year. Now the Republicans are incensed about people losing insurance when the people do have options for policies? 3% of the policies are being canceled - a small amount really.
But what is the GOP offering other than anger — repeal. They’d like
us to go back in time to when insurance premiums and employee
contributions both went up by more than 170%.
In the pre-ACA world, you could be denied coverage because of a
pre-existing condition and possibly have your plan rescinded if you
didn’t meet strict guidelines.
I have great sympathy for those who are now in doubt and possibly
unable to use HealthCare.gov to find their new plan as quickly as they’d
like. (And I get the irony of a man who became president largely
because of the Internet now seeing his signature accomplishment
threatened by a website.)
But I’m willing to make a deal for the GOP: Pass a health care plan that
lets everyone keep their insurance without ever paying more and I’ll
take you seriously. Or if you can’t do that, just skip your next pretend
repeal, which would cancel up to 137 million Americans’ insurance, and pass any health care reform plan.
