OMG Politics, I'm over it already.

It's amazing that this was considered "normal" and "acceptable" for so many years.

As long as your coverage didn't lapse, you were covered. In a way, not covering pre existing conditions makes sense. You skate by your whole life with no insurance, then you get sick, so you sign up. I get that, but the whole for profit private insurance is so fucking stupid, it is mind boggling that we still have it.

Deny all you want. That is what your company's cost and your premiums combined.

Maybe, but many of us who have been contractors have carried our own insurance, which is lower than COBRA (even Blue Cross).

Any comments on Trump being a moron or having a mental disability are 1) an understatement, 2) made by a true "master of the obvious" or MOTO, and 3) would comprise another episode of "Tales of the Known"

Correct. I didn't choose to continue COBRA when I was let go because it was cheaper for me to buy Blue Cross for the 5 years I was a contractor. Even when taking in the difference between pretax and post tax dollars.

My company and I were paying the higher amount because of the looser or fewer restrictions of the policy they chose to purchase. Group plans that companies pay for have no pre-existing condition restrictions and generally nobody is denied so I'm pretty sure that's why they are more expensive.

Blue Cross denied my wife for high blood pressure. My two young kids were accepted thankfully. If they weren't they would have to go on my wife's company insurance for quite a bit more.

i don't know what you guys think COBRA is.....but when i got laid off (10 years ago) COBRA said they could cover me for $650 per month.....while i'm on unemployment? are you fucking kidding me??

COBRA is nothing more than highway robbery!!

When I was laid off the Cobra policy was $3200/mo for the family. Unemployment paid $1800. Sign me up.

From CNN: "President Trump has taken an anti-immigration stance and vowed to severely tighten the use of work visas. The EB-5 program has come under fire by members of Congress on both sides of the aisle."

Don't worry, the so-called President will put an end to this sleazy practice.

And yet, the budget he just signed increased the number of H-2B visas.

It's all smoke and mirrors for The Big Grifty.

Please... calling it "lies" is SO old fashioned. "Alternate facts" is now the preferred term. Get with the program.

And in 2020 all the unemployed redneck construction workers will be explaining how this is all the fault of Democrats. With stickers on the rear windows of their trucks. Which they pay for with bullshit disability claims.

What you have under the ACA is insurance, you don't have total health care, you think you do but you don't because in reality if you are under the ACA you won't be able to afford it. So in reality your health care will stop. In Virginia this week, the ACA took another step toward failure as Aetna has pulled out of the system. Say what you will but the ACA is collapsing in it's current state in Virginia. I don't know what other states do to continue to float it as they must have a bottomless pit of cash somewhere.
