Yup. And, (in the main, no pun intended), reasonable safety regulations are a GOOD thing.

YET ANOTHER HORRIBLE TRAGEDY!!! ovomit said you won't be denied coverage if you have a pre-existing condition, BUT it turns out that you will pay TEN TIMES THE AVERAGE PREMIUM... one woman will have to pay $62,000.00 (this is NOT a typo) for just one medication under the ovomitcare law... Those with expensive diseases such as lupus or multiple sclerosis face something called a "closed drug formulary." Dr. Scott Gottlieb of the American Enterprise Institute explains,"if the medicine that you need isn't on that list, it's not covered at all. You have to pay completely out of pocket to get that medicine, and the money you spend doesn't count against your deductible, and it doesn't count against your out of pocket limits, so you're basically on your own." The plan had claimed it would rescue those with serious pre-existing conditions. "So it could be that a MS patient could be expected to pay $62,000 just for one medication," says Dr. Daniel Kantor, who treats MS patients and others with neurological conditions near Jacksonville, Florida. "That’s a possibility under the new ObamaCare going on right now." In fact, one conservative group, Americans for Prosperity, is running an ad on exactly this subject, featuring a woman with lupus, an auto-immune disease. She starts by saying, "I voted for Barack Obama for president. I thought ObamaCare was going to be a good thing." But Emilie Lamb says she later got a letter saying her insurance was canceled because of ObamaCare, pushing her premiums from $52 to $373 a month. "I'm having to work a second job, to pay for ObamaCare,” she adds. “For somebody with lupus, that's not an easy thing. If I can't afford to continue to pay for ObamaCare, I don't get my medicine. I don't get to see my doctors." foxnews.com GZ
