Hi jttmab, RE: ("how come Kerry doesn't try to make it illegal for insurance companies to reject individuals that apply for insurance?) "WOW! You should think about what you just said."

I did. And I think it should be illegal to decline people.

It's discrimination.

Democrats are against discrimination.

RE: "Flush free market down the toilet"

I agree the free market approach needs to be highly regulated. Look no further than flu vaccine to see how horrible the free market is, without Congressional intervention.

But I'm very, very aware of the "universal care" systems that several countries have. Anyone that has relatives overseas or friends from Canada knows. Very frightening systems. My brother is a Cardiologist and he told me he gets patients from Canada because the waiting periods are so very long and they don't even have the tools we have here.

RE: "There are some reasons why the government would cover catastrophic costs."

Government catastrophic coverage is the absolutely last thing you want. A teacher in Palo Alto, CA was placed in a local nursing home after a catastrophic illness. His family also lives in the Bay Area. But later they shipped this teacher to a nursing home that was 100+ miles away from his family, just because the GOVERNMENT"S insurance didn't want to pay for a nursing home in the Bay Area, where he lived and where his family all lives ! So of course he immediately died once the daily family visits went away. How horrible.

And that's what this government wants to give us? No thanks!!!

Scary !!!

Regards,
Amy J
