Which reminds me. On a Wisconsin Interstate this w/e I saw a super luxury-mac daddy RV towing a bright yellow Hummer (looked like a H2 definately not H1) and behind the hummer was a 24-28 ft Cobalt speed boat. It was like 70 ft long. How is that legal? I know the guy was republican cause look what he was driving and towing. Would have loved to see him turn or back up.

If the Hummer had been baby blue I would have guessed Calabrese

most states have limits on how long something like that can be, but i don't know how serious they are about enforcing the length limits. in the scheme of most to least serious offenses, that has to be far down on the list.

yes there are limits axle wgts / lenth/ hight.. he got by..

I figured he seperates the hummer/boat from the RV as soon as he gets off the highway. Had TX plates so definately not Calabrese.

The point is, first, that patients have options.

Secondly, those options depends upon the private plan you purchase. There are catastrophic only plans, limited plans, companies that don't write in certain states, etc. As you age, or if you develop any medical problems, your options become more and more limited. If you lose or quit your job, you do have the opportunity to purchase (continue) your insurance under COBRA, but good luck on paying for that, as the insurance company will now charge you as an individual for what your boss was paying for in a discounted group. If you cross state lines, you can rarely take your insurance with you - thus you start from scratch. At this point, the new insurer (even if the same "company") can bar you from coverage for anything you've previously made a claim on, or is an ongoing medical problem.

That's how the insurance companies save money. Although rates are estimated to rise 10% this year, regardless of healthcare reform.

It also depends upon the insurance company agreeing to honor the contract it makes with you. You see, it's an unregulated industry, thus, even if you have an expensive, very inclusive plan, the insurance company can choose to alter that plan at their whim. And you have no recourse.

They can drop you if you make a claim, refuse to cover you for things in your policy, rescind your policy, put cap limits on an illness, find something pre-existing in your past history to disallow current treatment (the "famous" one being talked about now in the debate is the person who was denied treatment for malignant melanoma - skin cancer - as they had had acne with treatment in their past)

Health care reform is all about increasing the options people seeking healthcare have.

This is what lawyers are good for!

Please tell me people weren't idiotic enough to think it wouldn't be. Gotta love people that would jump head first into a program offering like that before really exploring the totality of it all.

Brilliant...

Come on, Cannon ... it's LA.

The cool people don't arrive till well after the opening kickoff.

Please Riot, just give it up, you are the most liberal person on this forum times ten and you even scare me. You are like the Timmy of liberals.

Hope to see you again at Arlington next week, too

How naive can the American public really be?

I have enjoyed this thread though. Riot keeps fighting the good fight. I am highly impressed with her stamina despite being surrounded on all sides by challengers.

Sniper just cracked me up. If Riot is radical, what does that make my friend Dellinger?

We've lost the challengers, they are all out back together doing the male bonding thing, peeing on a wall

Do I really have to go over the entire "jobs saved" thing again? Please try to comprehend that it isnt true or false, just ficton.
