I was Born with a Bad Heart and Can't get Insurance......I asked this question and People Compared me to a Car?
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqFAo...
"I got drunk last night and ran my car into a tree.. I should be able to call an insurance company, get an insurance policy on it and they should be forced to replace it for me today.. right?
It says a lot about the kind of person you are that you've never considered any other outcome but you leeching off somebody else. Force customers of an insurance company to cough up thousands more a year to take care of you. Force taxpayers to cough up thousands more a year to take care of you. But never.. ever.. even consider taking care of yourself."
"Are you dying right this very moment?
Then I don't think you need medical care."
"Should car insurance companies be forced to insure you after your car is totaled?
Should life insurance companies be forced to insure you after you are dead?"
This is what people said to me.........How cold and Sad has our Country become??
Also for the record I DO want to take care of myself however I don't even get the chance to "Qualify" for Insurance and DONT want to go on welfare so what is their Solution????
I was Born with a Pretty bad Heart Problem and I am unable to get Insurance because of something I was Born with and can't Control.
Under Obama-Care a Pre-Existing Condition like mine is not a reason that Insurance can Deny me.
But Many want to get rid of it and compare a Living Breathing Human Being that has a Soul to a CAR!!
WHY??????
And what should I do Besides go on Welfare????

In the republican world "All men are created equal" includes businesses. Business is always more important than living human beings. You're important when you're dead, a business is there to soak your family one last time.
I have to laugh at Ryan, who nevr heard of someone denied coverage. In 2007, the insurance companies denied coverage to 172400 people.
I don't think tea partiers think they are people, they are not a business.

This insane idea that Obama care will make insurance companies cover people with preexisting conditions is bull ****!
I have a pre existing condition in which no one will cover me so I have to go through the Health risk Pool which is 3 times more expensive than a regular policy.
So when he touted NOW people can be guaranteed health insurance was a big white lie!
I went to every company and they all denied me or said it would be btw. $1400-1600 a month. So basically Obama care will cover the minimum because most people will pay for private insurance unless you are poor or lower middle class. It will be similar to Medicare. The rich will get good health care and well the rest of us crappy health care!
He has already raised my rate 40% because of his policies.

When Obamacare goes into full effect and you get your taxpayer-subsidized insurance, you'll effectively be on welfare, so there's no point in worrying about that. Your situation is deplorable to be sure, and obviously you do need help, but that still doesn't justify forcing other people to pay for your medical care. Besides, insurance is intended to financially guard against accidents that people in good health occasionally have. It's not a charity. Speaking of which, there are organizations out there that can help you without depending on the government.

Republicans believe that it's okay to trade human lives on Wall Street like live stock. To them it's all about the bottom line.

Probably the reason "people compared you to a car" is that you asked Americans to assess the value of your humanity.

I have never heard of someone with a preexisting condition being denied Medicaid or kicked off employers health insurance. Go fill out the paperwork or get a job.

0bama-care is the worst plan I have ever heard it would be cheaper just to put you on medicaid. It will ruin the whole country and make millions of Americans lose their heath-care.
