you will keep your health insurance
False - Some insurance plans are no longer legal. Others will be more expensive and some people won't be able to afford them, or there employer will drop the specific plan, or their employer will drop paying insurance at all and just pay the penalty.
They can no longer discriminate against children with preexisting conditions.
Such discrimination is the essence of insurance. You can't insure what people already have. You can be charitable to them and pay for it, you can be forced by some third party to pay for treatment or to provide treatment, but none of that is insurance.
They can no longer raise your premiums without reason.
Because government regulation of prices has always worked out so well every other time its been tried...
They are required to provide free preventive care such as check-ups and mammograms
In other words they have to pay for predictable, relatively modest expenses that people could pay for themselves. That isn't insuring against risks people can't endure, that's putting you in a health care payment plan, then turning around and charging you all of the costs for those payments, plus a markup, all while driving costs higher by encouraging more use of medical care, and discouraging concern for the prices of that care.
And by this August, nearly 13 million Americans will receive a rebate from their insurance
company because it spent too much on things such as administrative costs

Administrative costs, you know things like fraud prevention...
Young adults under the age of 26 are able to stay on their parent’s health care plans
Raising the costs of those plans.
Seniors receive a discount on their prescription drugs
Again - Because government regulation of prices has always worked out so well every other time its been tried... |
