Insurance companies like large groups to mitigate risk. Government requires group insurers to take all that are part of the group. Certain pre existing conditions are excluded.

Sure, you can pay extra money and choose from one of many other insurance plans already (a freedom you won't have under "single payer"). However, wouldn't it be better if the company shucked its insurance plan, and paid you the difference, so you could make a choice without wasting money?<br /><br />One of the problems with the current system is that many workplaces lock employees into healthcare plans. If you got rid of that middleman, and let the employees choose where to spend the money, there'd be a lot more competition.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-65916595132283879022009-08-05T17:28:36.084-04:002009-08-05T17:28:36.084-04:00I have no say as to what my insurance pays or cove...I have no say as to what my insurance pays or covers now Dmarks. Other than what is MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT. We can go into this further if you want. Perhaps the old policy of sending mothers home the day they gave birth appealed to you. I have three kids and I gaurentee my wife was not ready to come home the day she gave birth to any of them. Happily, mothers spend the nigh in the hospital and have the help and training provided by our nurses to prepare them and baby for when they leave.Joe "Truth 101" Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875151516978133598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-78104122073555970762009-08-05T17:17:03.904-04:002009-08-05T17:17:03.904-04:00"The faux issues they are raising--a governme..."The faux issues they are raising--a government takeover of our health care system"<br /><br />The nightmare scenario of government takeover is one promoted by Truth 101.
