Millions at risk of losing coverage....sm

as justices take up Obamacare challenge.  What a mess this will be if the court rules against the ACA subsides in the states that declined to set up their own exchanges.

and those Red states never understand they have - themselves to blame-nm

ACA could have been so much better if the states had actually cooperated with the law and not listened to the pandering insurance companies poisoning the well and using scare tactics to destroy healthcare for the majority.

I remember the convulted paragraph on our ballot where "we" rejected setting up our own exchange.

Nor does even the autonomic nervous system - of the Republicans in Congress.

It's sad. Even a one-celled creature floating around in the bottom of your local pond has more going for it.

I sympathize with that lady - how could it be better to go back

To: If you're sick just turn up at the emergency room.

Her preexisting condition is able to be adequately and affordably treated, and that is quite possibly the best thing about the ACA.

I personally benefit not at all from the ACA, stuck on the MTSO grandfathered junk insurance, but stories like this illustrate just how much better it is for those like this lady.

Imagine before ACA, she would have been hit with the same terrible diagnosis, questionable whether she could get proper ongoing treatment if she were uninsured, and a massive bill to boot from the ER.

Do you believe insurance should not cover maternity costs also.  It is a lady's choice to become pregnant, so is that the same category of covering birth control pills.  How about should employers be allowed to deny coverage of pregnancy if mother is not married.  That might violate some employers religious beliefs to pay for illegitimate children.

However, after debate - it's all good.

Medical Insurance Coverage: Will We Receive Any?Nov 15, 2012
