He's not the only one not swayed by the hatred. We're still fortunate to have PBO. freshwest Mar 2013 #1

We are so very fortunate to have this President. sheshe2 Mar 2013 #7

"Universal healthcare was achieved under Obama"? freedom fighter jh Mar 2013 #2

That statement wasn't quite correct. But it's close to making ins. coverage universally available. Honeycombe8 Mar 2013 #6

Except for, oh I don't know, Medicare or the coverage afforded members of Congress or Armed Services DRoseDARs Mar 2013 #10

No, ins. coverage hasn't always been universally available to most of the people. Honeycombe8 Mar 2013 #13

"Coverage" is not care eridani Mar 2013 #16

This is not a post about a national care system. This is a post about health care coverage. Honeycombe8 Mar 2013 #46

It pays for it treestar Mar 2013 #49

No, insurance doesn't pay for health care--not if they turn down your claim eridani Mar 2013 #52

If they turn down a claim due to treestar Mar 2013 #53

Insurance companies turn down claims for things that are supposed to be covered all the time eridani Mar 2013 #54

Our country doesn't have a single payer system, so that's irrelevant. Honeycombe8 Mar 2013 #56

Private insurance does not exist for the purpose of minimizing claims treestar Mar 2013 #57

It's a way of paying whose purpose is to provide health care for ALL eridani Mar 2013 #59

Murderers. Now you're getting out of hand. treestar Mar 2013 #60

Private insurance is the cause of people dying because they can't pay for health care eridani Mar 2013 #61

For the umpteenth time, this isn't a thread about a system our country doesn't have. It's about Honeycombe8 Mar 2013 #55

Evidentally you didn't read my post close enough. "...available to anyone that can afford it." DRoseDARs Mar 2013 #19

No one can be denied emergency care...this is true. It's the law. Honeycombe8 Mar 2013 #47

I'm in the same boat as you Honeycombe. I've got a few years to go until I can qualify for Medicare xtraxritical Mar 2013 #41

I feel for you. I have coverage now thru employer, but I was unemployed a short time Honeycombe8 Mar 2013 #48

Happy Easter HC. I've seen that web site, thanks you. xtraxritical Mar 2013 #50

Universal health care achieved kairos12 Mar 2013 #5

OK thanks for the information kairos12 Mar 2013 #37

And your problems are Obama's fault, how? freshwest Mar 2013 #17

Thanks for the chart, freshwest! Cha Mar 2013 #21

I've no idea which ones have or haven't. But traditional Medicaid, as in my OP here, covers more. freshwest Mar 2013 #23

Is that the result of last fall's election? freedom fighter jh Mar 2013 #25

Andrew Sullivan is a conservative. He never misses a chance to refer dismissively to "lefies" as if MotherPetrie Mar 2013 #51
