Yet ANOTHER reason for a public healthcare option
From Mother Jones:
Yesterday the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations decided to investigate the practice of recission. This is when you pay your premiums for years to a healthcare insurer, then get sick, and then have your insurance cancelled. The insurance industry executives at the hearing did not exactly cover themselves with glory:
….Late in the hearing, [Bart] Stupak, the committee chairman, put the executives on the spot. Stupak asked each of them whether he would at least commit his company to immediately stop rescissions except where they could show “intentional fraud.”
I’m just starting to read on the options for health care…but anything has to be better than the situation people are in now; lose your job, lose your health care, if you even have a job that offers it.
