It's never happened in my experience and I've seen my clients have some
hefty claims. My best friend's premature baby spent two months in ICY
prenatal, costing 800k, before dying. The insurance company paid it all
without blinking. I can cite heart attacks, strokes, long term cancer
illnesses, etc. All paid in full.

You tried to buy it after becoming a high risk. You also chose to be a high
risk.

What you've revealed says plenty.....and it's a familiar story. Much more
valid than the half truths your leftist pundits repeat about the health
insurance industry.

This shows again that you don't have a clue.

When it comes to uniting the American people, nobody beats Obama. He has
singlehandly united the country....against him. How he reacts to this major
setback will determine whether he ends up like Bubba or like Carter.

you flunked basic math didn't you? The GOP has nothing to do with this: they
had no input, were not offered any amendment opportunities and were not
needed to pass it. Other Democrats did this.
