I want to buy insurance for only those health problems I will have.

[edhopper]

This is what the GOP wants to pass.

Sounds fair to me.

Now, how do I find out what my future health problems are going to be so I can get the appropriate insurance.

[frazzled]

1. 23 and Me

Send some DNA in and they'll tell you what genetic propensities for various illnesses you may have. Then pray.

[pangaia]

2. And those are the ones you will not be able to get insurance for.

It's Catch-22 !

[edhopper]

4. Will they also tell me

if I am going to get in a car accident or get a contagious disease?

[Jonny Appleseed]

8. Statistically those two should be assumed to happen even moreso than the conditions listed

by the genetic testing.

[WhollyHeretic]

3. Trump will be able to tell you. He apparently claims to be able to tell the future in

the new Time interview.

5. If your problem is

a wrist or ankle......it'll cost you an arm and leg.

[edhopper]

6. That's a good one

[procon]

7. A la carte insurance... why hasn't anyone thought of this wonderful idea before?

I only want to buy car insurance for Tuesday evening when I go play bingo, and Friday when I go shopping. If I can get home insurance without paying for water damages (its a desert here!) and I don't need to pay for burglars stealing my stuff... 2 big dogs are deterrent enough, right? I only need health insurance for my specific needs, and if I could buy it the day I needed it, that would be great!

9. The stupid in this country

Driven by conservatism...

[Sanity Claws]

10. Maybe we should buy stock in crystal ball manufacturers

or whoever makes the Magic 8 Ball.

Lots of folks are going to want to know the answer to the question you posed.

11. Don't count on it.

● Don't count on it
● My reply is no
● My sources say no
● Outlook not so good
● Very doubtful

12. Here's how it could work for us.

Let's say at my age (63), Trumpscare gives me a subsidy for $4,000.00. My insurance company just so happens to have a stripped down policy for that exact amount since the 10 Essential Health Benefits have been removed. Voila, free government subsidized health insurance for everyone! Of course, if we need to actually have a health condition covered, we are SOL but until then.....

[ProfessorGAC]

13. OK. Simple

First, build a time machine.

Then go forward in time, check records, come back and get the right insurance.

I don't understand what's so hard about that. Well, except for that time machine thing, but if you liberals weren't all lazy and living off the country's dime, you'd be working on inventing one right now,

(I don't need the sarcasm thingie, right?
