>> Exactly, which is why they won't insure me. Which is why they DROP anyone that gets sick that they can find the least excuse to do so.

Except they do not drop people for getting sick. And they cannot do so.

Which is the reason Obama, in pointing out three people who "were dropped for getting sick" -- lied IN ALL THREE CASES. In not one of those cases was anyone ACTUALLY dropped for getting sick (and in fact, they were dropped for lying about their sicknesses on their applications in an effort to bilk the insurance industry).

In fact, the three biggest insurance companies in the country have dropped a total of 20,000 people for "getting sick" in the last five years -- 4,000/year, while covering tens of millions. In those instances, the dropped coverage was typically a result of their lying on the application.

And I've got news -- if Medicare or Medicaid find out you're receiving benefits without being qualified for them, you'll be dropped just as quickly and by god you won't have anyone to complain to. With private insurance you do have recourse.
