The stunning truth about healthcare pricing

62. Unfortunately for us "real" people, Obama was far

Too busy listening to those who represented the "unreal" people - the Big Health Insurers.

People like Rahm convinced Obama to sell us out. And he willingly did so. (I know you know this, but I get so steamed up about the health insurance issue.)

Anyway just yesterday a friend sent a link to "help" me with the new situation since ObamaCare. Apparently here in California, until Dec 31 2013, I have the "right" to sign up for the state of California general insurance fund (PCPP or PIIP, or some such acronym)

I go off to the web page. It would be perfect for someone like me, with pre-existing conditions, as it promises that as long as you have not been uninsured for six months (I haven't been insured for fourteen months) all you need to do is show proof of rejection from two big insurers ( a process that will take maybe two to six weeks,) a willingness and ability to pay the insurance premium (some 800 dollars a month plus) and then a willingness to be screwed -

The insurance policy pays nothing until you meet a $ 2,500 deductible. Then there are co-pays along with what the insurer would pay. and they have to offer you this health insurance.

So in other words, if I commit an amount of money that equals some 35% of what I make after taxes, I can be insured. Easey peasey and all hail to our great and wonderful Democratic President!
