Which is precisely what makes insurance an idiotic vehicle for
determining health care. Health care should be determined by what is
wrong with you that needs treating, not the fine print in some
unreadable insurance policy. What next "I'm sorry, I can't have kidney
failure today, my insurance company won't allow it?" This is simply nuts.

Nor does it happen with mainstream policies from a mainstream insurance
company. Just because Obama bought a beer for a racist professor doesn't
mean all professors are racist....or beer drinkers.

You should really stick to what you know....
