Should those in good health be
forced to insurance they do not want or need buy?
Why do the feds the freedom of policy
choices want to deny?
Why do consumers who are smokers or overweight
have to for life insurance pay more?
Ditto for the drivers with DUI’s,
accidents, or always with pedal to the metal always floor?
Yet under the ACA buyers with preexisting
conditions cannot be charged a penny more
No wonder the deductibles and
premiums are in a death spiral soar
We are our brother’s keeper and the
illness or disease of one untreated can affect us all
A preexisting condition in many
cases is not an admission of a person’s from grace fall
Or the logical result of choices
knowingly and voluntarily made
An idea almost like workers’ comp
where the benefits linked to the injury are paid
X thousands for a loss of a finger,
Y thousands for a loss of a leg, Z hundreds for a broken arm
Some diseases are genetically based
with victim have no choice of knowingly being put in the way of harm
The increase in premiums would be
very low
Others like smoking would choices
that a responsible person would not would not want to go
A few percentages here a few
percentages there
Some increased costs to the healthy
that so explained most would agree to bear
Those with preexisting conditions
would have some skin in the game
Even those whose actions bear on
them no blames
Eliminate the mandates for employers
so they hire instead of using part time
Accelerate job growth truly big time
Return to the consumers the power of
choice
Give them back in health care and
insurance a voice
