It served us very well. It denies claims, just as private insurance does

No, it denies claims at twice the rate of private insurance, with very little in the way of recourse for claims that are improperly denied.

but it won't drop claimants or deny insurance as private insurance does.

Of course it will -- if it finds a person isn't qualified to receive the benefits. It doesn't happen often because the bar for qualification is very low.

Do you think your stupid little scam about 5000 claimants dropped by private insurance fooled anyone? They deny service, for pre-esisting, or interruption of service, some of the denials are ludicrous.

Except we know what the numbers are and there are, on average, 5,000 such cases a year from the payers that constitute about 80% of the market place. And in every instance, the claimant has the right to sue for an injunction or damages as appropriate, and lawyers will be falling all over themselves to do it on a contingency fee arrangement. Try to find a lawyer to sue Medicare for denying a claim on a contingent fee arrangement.

Even Obama, who has cited THREE examples of such claimants being dropped, has been caught LYING on every one of them. Why? Because there are few such claims that are legitimate. The president of the US cannot even come up with a bonafide example of this happening.

And you sure as hell are citing evidence it has ever happened.
