I personally encourage the President to keep the Congress in session until they pass a health bill.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

This was THE MAJOR ISSUE for many, many Americans. It could not have been discussed more during the debates and the entire Presidential campaign. All those debates, all those town halls, all those forums, all those summits, all those committee meetings, have to lead to actual LEGISLATION!

I don't care if they don't get ANY break - keep them in there until they deliver a bill that covers all Americans affordably, and removes immediately the immoral practices by insurers of: prior condition exclusions, lifetime caps, rescission, after the fact underwriting, etc. and provides a PUBLIC OPTION.

A future health insurance application should look like this:

Once you're in a plan, I understand that there will have to be questions about household income, etc. in order to obtain the correct subsidy, etc. but my basic point is that no one should have to answer any questions about their personal health in order to OBTAIN coverage.

And yes, I agree that single payer is the best, but I am completely resigned to the fact that we are not going to get it in this go round.
