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.
