(549 posts)Unwilling to accept that there is new legislation to deal with the problems you report.
Unwilling to enjoy the progress made with this new legislation.
Unwilling to acknowledge the improvement this legislation will bring to the lives of many.
Can you truthfully tell me that after reading through the provisions of the PPACA - http://www.healthcare.gov/law/timeline/full.html - that there is nothing in it that would have made your job of helping others easier and improved the health care of those with whom you worked?
Already over two million young adults now have insurance because they can be placed on their parents policies.
Already people with pre-existing conditions can get health insurance policies.
Is this a perfect bill, does it solve every single problem, does it make everyone's life a bed of roses? Of course not. But can you not allow yourself to see the progress made?
I am very sorry that you are experiencing what you are experiencing. But that has no bearing on the changes brought by this new legislation.
I don't buy for a moment your claim that you will be damaged by this bill. You have said, I believe, that you are in your last months and that you have private insurance. Nothing in this bill changes anything for you except that your insurance company will have to spend 80% (or 85%) of your premiums on treatment.
Your claim that the insurance people purchase will be unusable is ridiculous.
Can you step back from the anger at what you've been through?
