I have a Pre-Existing Condition and Insurance won't cover me, Should a Law say they should?

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??? Why???

And what should I do Besides go on Welfare and using Tax Payer Money?????

    No other industrialized nation on Earth suffers pre-existing conditions because they have health insurance systems that make sense. People are covered from cradle to grave by single-payer systems, so there is no need for pre-existing conditions clauses since everyone pays into the insurance pool as soon as they begin working.

    Americans don't understand complicated issues like health insurance because our selfishness blinds us to the emergent social complications of our greed.

    Insurance companies are just that, companies. They need to make money too, you can't expect them to take on such an obviously enormous risk with almost no return for them. This may sound harsh, but if you don't have money there is nothing you can do, welfare doesn't help because it is only for children and there is no other form of tax-payer money you could use if you're under the age required for medicare.

    Your countrymen don't give a **** if you die as long as it doesn't cost them any money. The only way to approach those people is to show them that letting people die, letting them live with debilitating untreated illnesses is not cost effective. You need to show numbers because they obviously have no empathy or concern for their religious teachings in the Bible.

    Canada spends 10% of GDP on Universal Healthcare that covers everyone for everything. America spends 16% of GDP on Medicare and they still have to buy private insurance. It's a joke. In every measure UHC is lower cost. In every measure UHC exceeds America's PMI system. Every advanced nation aside from the US uses UHC.

    Obamacare is not UHC. Obamacare is right wing corporate fascism. Forced to buy from private companies. How could that ever be considered a left wing idea?

    The GOP alternative to Obamacare actually had a system to cover those with pre-existing conditions. We want to repeal a bad law and replace it with a good law.

    Republicans want you to go on welfare and use tax payor money. When that runs out they refuse to pay more taxes so they prefer if you DIE! Didn't you hear their cheers at the one debate?

    There should be Universal Health Care in this country to help people like you. I am so sorry there is not.

    If I were you I might consider moving to another country just to get health care and not ruin my credit with what medicaid does not pay which if you can get the care is a lot of money!

    Good Luck.

    I got into a horrible car accident in which a totalled my Mercedez Benz. Unfortunately it was my fault but I don't have collision.

    Why can't I just buy collision today and have yesterday's accident covered?

    Isn't that what insurance is for?
