In reply to the discussion: Paul Ryan wants to end Obamacare protections for people with pre-existing conditions [View all]Evar
(44 posts)I was denied insurance though my husband's company because of a congenital heart condition and ended up in a Texas risk pool. By law, that state's premium rates are higher than the average consumer, and every year they went up. It was frightening, being at the mercy of a bunch of profit-driven actuaries. I finally got on Medicare, and that was a huge relief. Washington and state houses are dominated by godless politicians who support corporate welfare but a "let them eat cake" attitude for struggling working people and the poor. Bernie Sanders often quotes Martin Luther King, This country has socialism for the rich, and rugged individualism for the poor. How long are we going to put up with immoral politicians who cut food stamps for children but give $1.2 trillion in tax breaks for the rich and for corporations? Vote people like Ryan OUT of office.
