Insurance companies didnt used to be required to accept people with pre-existing conditions.

Government stepped in and said thats ****ed up, these people are going backrupt trying to simply be alive.

Now, insurance companies cannot say no based on pre-existing conditions. Most think this is a good thing.

Since this was NEVER corrected by the market and govt intervention was required, do you think a) its a good thing and b) the market would have ever corrected itself?

List of politicians and how much they sold you out - Tiger_Claw MU - 3/29 12:17:26
     Why should government be involved on either side - meatiger MU - 3/29 13:15:39
          Okay. So, what if every ISP sells your information? What if - Tiger_Claw MU - 3/29 13:33:56
               That's between you and the company - pickle MU - 3/29 13:41:36

               Pickle, you need to get over this idea that - Badird MU - 3/29 13:36:12
                    You need to drop your logical fallacies - pickle MU - 3/29 13:51:36
                         Ah so if they dont share your 'morality' - Badird MU - 3/29 13:57:05
                              I get it, you see no value in government at all - Badird MU - 3/29 14:07:20
                                   No, you aren't immoral for seeing value in FCC, EPA, etc - pickle MU - 3/29 14:32:03
                                        Africa is the closest thing we have to anarchy - Badird MU - 3/29 14:45:10
                                             That's completely incorrect - pickle MU - 3/29 15:12:51
                              No, if their position is based on using force - pickle MU - 3/29 14:04:42

     You don't understand the issue (nm) - pickle MU - 3/29 12:39:33
          Educate me please. Because, these representatives received - Tiger_Claw MU - 3/29 12:44:43
               Don't they already have access to this private data? - cnk ATL - 3/29 13:01:17
                    Yes, and companies have a purchase history - pickle MU - 3/29 13:12:41
                         Companies have a purchase history - Badird MU - 3/29 13:32:01

                              Ok. So? (nm) - pickle MU - 3/29 13:42:17
                                   Let me try a different tact here - Badird MU - 3/29 13:45:29
                                        I reject your premise regarding the market - pickle MU - 3/29 13:52:42
                                             But people with pre-existing conditions - Badird MU - 3/29 13:54:16
                                                  Insurance is not health care - pickle MU - 3/29 14:10:10

                                        RE: Let me try a different tact here - meatiger MU - 3/29 13:47:32
                                             Exactly... govt was forced to intervene - Badird MU - 3/29 13:50:38
                                                  No (nm) - pickle MU - 3/29 14:16:27

                                                                 just answer the question... - Badird MU - 3/29 14:03:47
               I'm happy to - pickle MU - 3/29 12:50:05
               Pickle thinks you don't have to enter into a contract with - MrBlueSky MU - 3/29 12:45:49
                    no i don't. In fact, i believe the exact opposite - pickle MU - 3/29 12:50:47
                         A voluntary relationship in which we have no control - MrBlueSky MU - 3/29 12:53:45
                              Negotiate a better contract - pickle MU - 3/29 13:08:50
          Where do you buy internet service? (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 3/29 12:41:00
               From an internet provider (nm) - pickle MU - 3/29 12:45:18
                    That internet provider will then sell your data to the - Tiger_Claw MU - 3/29 12:50:05
                         Yes. And? (nm) - pickle MU - 3/29 12:52:00
                              If you're okay with that? Cool. I just find it odd that - Tiger_Claw MU - 3/29 12:59:27
                                   As I said, you don't understand the issue - pickle MU - 3/29 13:07:50
                                        I understand where you're coming from. What if every - Tiger_Claw MU - 3/29 13:32:44
                                             What if? Ok, so? - pickle MU - 3/29 13:36:05
                                                  Agreed. The laws currently in place prevent that from - Tiger_Claw MU - 3/29 13:38:02
                                                       Yes. I am okay with the government being involved - Tiger_Claw MU - 3/29 13:46:52

                                                            I know. I have enough to worry about with signing away - Tiger_Claw MU - 3/29 13:43:53
                                                                 If it gets me access - meatiger MU - 3/29 13:45:09
                                                            But your ISP is not held to the same standard - Badird MU - 3/29 13:42:37
                                                                 If there is a potential for 80% market opportunity - meatiger MU - 3/29 13:43:58
                                             so...you don't think - meatiger MU - 3/29 13:33:59

                                                                      You see no value in the FCC - Badird MU - 3/29 13:59:08
     I might add, one solution for this: - GA Tiger MU - 3/29 12:31:55
          Solution for what? (nm) - pickle MU - 3/29 12:39:53
          So you limit their ability to rape you - Mormad MU - 3/29 12:35:23
               Would appreciate some explanation on that rape thing. - GA Tiger MU - 3/29 12:42:32
                    You assume it's to build a re-election war chest - Mormad MU - 3/29 12:46:58
