I have been trying to keep up with what's going on with health-care.

I wanted the public option, TORT reform, and no pre-existing conditions

The one I wanted most is no pre-existing.

I am a mother of a special needs child, and she will have long medical bills her whole life. Right now she is on Medicaid...But they want to take 1/2 a trillion dollars away from that???

Anyone have a crystal ball?

Not really sure why anyone would be apposed to it. All of the arguements vs it don't make any sense or are just flat out stupid.

"Death panels?" really?... lol

From what I can see it's the cost of the bill in whole that people are b****ing about.

In My opinion if President Obama would have waited until the USA came through the financial free fall and peoples lives were beginning to get better, he would have had a much better time of it.

Compare the cost of not doing anything, and the cost of this bill. Then get back to me.

Sooo you believe that Obama, as president of the United States of America, the most looked-up-to nation in the world, should've sat back and decided to do nothing? This "financial freefall", this recession that you are talking about was caused by us. It is only right that we do something to get out of it. If Obama decided not to do anything, and if he would've waited, do you know where we would be? In another Great Depression... Now I don't think that they should take out money from organizations like Medicaid that are helping many people that cannot help themselves but I can see why they thought its bill was too high. We are just leaving a recession and now the government is reconsidering all the money it has been spending, it is trying to make cut-backs so that we dont fall back into the recession we are still recovering from.

Insurance shouldn't cover pre-existing conditions. Insurance is to cover the expenses of unforeseen accidents/conditions, not as a method to get a service for a considerably cheaper rate.

my daughter was born with a heart condition. You could say that this is a pre-existing condition in every situation because she was infact born with it.

Should she recieve medical care due to complications with her heart?

And in your opinion what is the difference between a "unforeseen" condition and a "foreseen" condition?

I thought pre-existing conditions were things that were the result of an accident or you weren't born with but knew about before you went on the insurance.

Things that you're born with are congenital and (I think) would fall under a different category.
