i don't - and never will - understand the love affair with letting business-minded and money oriented corporations handling your ability to live or die.
it just bewilders me there is so much support for this type of system.

Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
PerfectLeft's anecdotal example is a typical tactic used by special interests to argue their point. Finding one example and applying it to an entire system in order to spread fear about something that is unknown. I will offset that anecdotal example (in this case, an example from a foriegn country) with my own anecdotal examples taken from my personal experiences with breast cancer survivors here in the U.S.
And I can tell you that I personally know several breast cancer survivors (being a voluenteer crew member for both the Susan G. Komen 3-Day and Avon 2-Day walks since 2002) who were denied breast reconstructive surgery by their health care providers. As well some survivors who were covered by their providers.
Results... a wash.
Thanks for not being a dick.
The whole point behind this thread was to point out this is where we are heading if we dont repeal this disasterous bill that does nothing but raise premiums,cost people more jobs,force people into medicare,and it's going to make hudge cuts to medicare.
also Im very well aware that people get turned down for whatever the case may be.But at least you have the ablity to make an appeal against the INS company and if they don't cover it then you can sue their asses. But when the gov makes the final decision like the NHS does and did in this case then what ? Your fucked.
But we don't have universal health care and nobody knows where all this is heading. There are so many things wrong and lame about this bill that I think we should focus on the actual issues instead of ones that may or may not ever exist.
