It seems like your policy ought to move seamlessly across state lines. It should be owned by you – employers shouldn’t be involved at all. And once covered, you shouldn’t be dropped for finally needing the thing you’ve been paying for. People who genuinely cannot get or afford coverage need a reliable safety net. It can probably be re-woven from federal and state programs already in existence.
But this and a few other significant problems do not warrant complete destruction of the entire system and its replacement with a hastily and poorly conceived trillion-dollar experiment in socialism. A flat tire and a full ashtray doesn’t warrant shoving an otherwise perfectly functional auto off a cliff, to be replaced with an $80,000 eight-wheeled, one-door model that runs on experimental chicken dung and orange peel fuel and has its ignition switch remotely controlled by a government bureaucrat.
There’s no legitimate, fact-based consensus on the dire, desperate, and urgent need for monstrous change. It’s been made up. Just like Ozbama’s contention we need not drill for any more oil if people would just properly inflate their tires. This administration is very, very big on facts not in evidence.
