Is prematurity a constant problem with you?

I clicked every american should have the same access to healthcare.

I must define the same. as I think every american should have access to health care, but it should be with private companies, not with the government.

"Equal" ("same") access to health care is kind of an important point in the poll.

What happens when private insurance companies refuse to insure somebody?

Or when private insurance companies will insure the patient, but not for any medical problem the patient already has? (like heart disease, diabetes)

Or the private insurance company says that they will insure the patient, but it will cost the patient $1288 a month?

Do you realize that now, when people move state to state, they often have to give up the health insurer they may have had for 20 years, and get another? And the new company won't necessarily cover them for anything the other company had to?

These are very serious questions, and I really would like to know your honest and best opinion on those problems.

if the person is unhealthy and the only way they can get insurance is by paying 1288 per month. then they should pay 1288 per month.

i'm all for eliminating a life time cap, and exclusions, and not being able to deny someone coverage. But if the cost is high, then pay it if you want the insurance. or shop around or take lesser coverage.

I had to pay over 500 per month when I was unemployed for a short time. You didnt hear me bitching about it. 500 a month is cheap if something big happens and you need hospital care.

No one should get free health care. it's a service you pay for.

Wasn't meant to be. Some of those espousing positions without any self-recognition are still doing so. So it's a fail in that intended regard.

Cool.

What's your take on the Colorado earthquakes last night? Lots of fracking in that area and the 5.3 quake was about 4 kilometers deep.

If there is an earthquake and only 25 people live in the area did it really happen?

Yes.

Not much seismic activity in this area. This is the 3rd largest quake recorded in Colorado since 1880.

Plenty of extinct volcanoes surround the area. Some people say La Garita Caldera caused the cat gap 25 million years ago.
