Obama Administration Simplifies, Significantly Shortens Application for Health Insurance

3. We shouldn't have to "apply" for medical insurance at all. What happens if

an insurer just decides to reject an application because, well, maybe they don't like our name, or our credit score, or what neighborhood we live in, or any of a number of other possible lame excuses? The very requirement that we "apply" infers that we can still be rejected.

Single Payer is what we really need. The ACA is probably going to be an abject failure and those who take the bait and buy insurance under it will probably STILL wind up being screwed by the private sector. It's a nice idea, but I can't see TPTB allowing it to actually be implemented in any way that benefits anyone other than the 1%.
