NP: Happy Easter

[kelber at mindspring.com]

Baby steps in the right direction would be great if the insurance industry didn't have batteries of lawyers devoted to tripping the baby.  There's no law that the insurance companies can't find massive loopholes in.  Six-month waiting periods for the terminally ill.  Special coverage policies for the newly insured that give them the identical coverage as regular policy owners - except reimbursing doctors at a much lower rate so that no doctors will treat these new patients.  Etc., etc.  I also had Empire Blue Cross insurance when 10 years ago, I had several hospitalizations which the insurance refused to cover.  I was forced to go bankrupt.

>We have Aetna insurance.  It's absolutely horrible: extremely expensive for a family of five, high copays, long lists of things they won't cover, does everything possible to prevent people from seeing doctors, bureaucratic to the extreme.  And now we're stuck with it, thanks to those Democratic whores who presided over one of the most disgraceful sellouts in recent memory.
