Uninsurable Americans – Current Health Reform Update
What About Uninsurables Under Health Reform?
One of my biggest concerns with health insurance today is the problem of uninsurables. That’s why Obama’s (and the Democrats) support of health reform was always attractive to me. I always believed that the biggest problem, and one that should be addressed first, were people who could not obtain medical coverage because they were already sick. I have seen this impact people, and I have seen how destructive it can be.
But I just read an article that says that the current bill will not allow these people access to the public high risk plan unless they have been without coverage for 12 months. This is just awful, and should start setting off alarm bills.
