True but it would also be spread accross the employee pool which means the company would have to make a decision on this.

I think we have the same questions about this story.... which is yet another of the reasons our friend is having these issues with the other boys and girls in the sand box.
I just called my wife to ask her exactly why Julie was afraid to go to another employer (my wife works with her). My wife said that the issue with her insurance is that she’s outright denied coverage for her cancer because it’s a “pre-existing condition”.

I won't either, but it's hard!!!! I give people a name in my head, and I tend to want to use their names when I am answering their posts. It's like everyone calling me Mich, rather than Moe. I'm still Mich, even though I changed my name.

Re: Does no one accept responsibility any more?

I have but a few moments before I have to get dressed for a retirement party at my school, but I am sickened by our government's treatment of the seniors and those who are poor.

My grandmother was on Social Security, a program she and my Grandpa paid heavy into. She also, before she retired, worked for the school system. She went to the Social Security office, and had them fill out the papers so she would get her check from them, and still get her pension from the state. Some eight years later, they contacted her, and told her that she had received too much out of her account, and they were freezing her account and money from the government. They admitted it was their mistake, but they said that she was not entitled to her own money, or my grandfather's money. It was their money, and they told them that they could not get it. Last time I checked, it was theft to do that. Now, she just started receiving her money, but only a small portion of her money.

I say it again. The government said she could not get her money that she paid and my Grandpa paid! Yet some loose woman who has 8 kids by 8 different Dad's can get assistance, food, and money for being immoral and having that many kids. Somone tell me how this is right.

My grandmother has to pay about $300/month in perscriptions. Oh yeah, I am all for the government helping with health care costs, especially since they stole from the seniors and vets the pension, and put all that money in the general fund.

The government should own up to it's responsibilities, stop the welfare abuse, and help those who are working make it. That is not entitlement, but insurance for a continuing and healthy economy.

Does she have access to COBRA? Which is an insurance that one pays for during the transition... it keeps insurance companies from using the pre-existing condition. That said, who really trusts insurance companies anyway. They are out for pure profit.

And that is why the current insurance system is corrupt and should be nationalized. They want the sick to die and rob the healthy of more money. It is a crime the way they treat us. A Crime!

Sorry, but that is the wrong answer. I am licensed in almost 10 States. The whole premise behind group insurance is that the insurance company agrees to take everyone in the group, regardless of their health.

Well... if the church would do what the church is supposed to do and stop giving over to the government what truly is the churches duty -- then there may be no need for insurance companies and government entitlements.

I really don't like it here anymore. Sad and pitiful people.
