Apparently the Democrat's plan for health care is wait and hope...?

That "plan" is nothing but a DISASTER!!!

I think they're going to have to change that, but I'd imagine the idea is to prove you actually can't get insurance before getting the government subsidy.

In any case, it's funny how right-wingers, who are fine with all these people NEVER getting insurance (aka the status quo) suddenly are concerned by a 6-month wait.

Are you saying we need universally mandated coverage and a government option to supply that, immediately? Or are you just carping with no actual solutions in mind?

[Obama credits his Republican presidential rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, for the risk-pools idea. But when the GOP candidate proposed it in 2008, the estimated cost was $7 billion to $10 billion a year.]

[Pelosi's plan doesn't have waiting period

But the House health care bill unveiled last week by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., doesn't include a waiting period. Instead, it would require insurance plans who "dump" seriously ill patients to repay the federal pool. "The House provision will provide immediate relief for people with high-risk conditions who have no alternative for coverage," said Finan.]

I am, under the current system, waiting nine months for coverage, while having to pay for it, because I was in a motorcycle accident two years ago. it's called a pre-existing condition waiting period. Under the present plan, the people they are talking about in the article, people with severe medical problems, would NEVER, EVER, EVER receive insurance. Six months is better than never

No, but thank God we won't have to wait because GW 8 years ago fixed health care.......... Oh wait....... What the heck?

LOL

That is the repuke way, remember?
