You all will love this example
Our neighbor has worked at his job for 15 years. He is a smoker and now 50 years of age. He needs a double lung transplant. Blue Cross/Shield won't pay for it and denied his claim because they said it was self inflicted , pre-existing, something like that. He is now selling his house to pay for it.
Since he got sick, he also lost his job and is about to lose his health insurance, he was the only one who carried insurance and has a wife and a son under the age of 18
I haven't seen Sicko yet, it doesn't play anywhere around here. I only see whats going on around here.
And to the person who said, go get a job with health insurance. My son finally got one. He was without health insurance for the past 3 years, age 23 to age 26. He was in college, worked part time and after getting his job in January he finally got health insurance with his job July 1st.
I am for Universal Health, you never know what could happen to you, don't assume you are going to be healthy all your life, and dont' assume that your health insurance will cover everything. You better read the fine print.
