And thank God, too. If the Democrats actually had their shit together while holding this much power the country would really be in trouble...

Bash the Dems and Obama all you want, they are still in control so must be doing something right.

yeah, like the pubsters did a real bang up job.




Sanity -> RE: domestic violence a 'preexisting condition' (3/4/2010 9:14:41 AM)


Seems like all the left did was cry and wail and gnash their teeth in mock agony over how effective the Republicans were in pushing through their various agendas.

With the Dems in control of the White House and the House and the Senate, all we have is a three ring circus.

Well at least they're not throwing temper tantrums on the senate floor cuz they aren't getting the ear marks they want (without paying for them) while scream "pay go!"

boi

Wishing Bunning had these same balls when AIG got those billions of dollars that tax payers are gonna have to pay for. Hey! Can the tax payers get AIG to pay for their unemployment?

Oh yeah, pre-existing conditions suck and aren't often able to be controlled. Patients didn't sign up for their pre-existing condition just for fun. They need treatment and care too. Remove insurance companies from the few protected from anti-trust laws!

If by "real trouble" you mean "having paid down the deficit already" (as Clinton was well on the way to that when the Republicans fucked that up), you're right! We'd be really BIG trouble.

pahunkboy -> RE: domestic violence a 'preexisting condition' (3/4/2010 9:25:06 AM)

well- some ladies keep going back to the abuser.

so that means higher claims to the corporation.




Sanity -> RE: domestic violence a 'preexisting condition' (3/4/2010 9:25:49 AM)


That was the Republican Congress under Clinton that cut spending and held the line on the budget.

Edited to add, The new found peace dividend, all the money we saved from Reagan winning the cold war for us didn't hurt anything either...

that has been thouroughly and repeatedly debunked for you, buddy.

Do you know how many women actually seek treatment for domestic abuse situations? How about men in domestic abuse situations? Happening more and more actually and chicks are crazy. They pick things up and don't just use their hands. Let's talk about the almost zero instance of men seeking treatment for being abused or the physical damage.

Let's not get into the fact that among domestic violence situations, lesbians are the one's with the highest rate of occurrence and gay men almost NEVER report the situation.

It ain't always a choice and it's not always as black and white as you think it is.

I'm not sure if you pay attention to my drinking habits, but it's WAY too early for me to be toasted enough to even consider believing that.

Ridiculous.  The entire concept of a preexisting condition is that there is a MEDICAL condition that makes treatment more likely or more expensive.  Being a domestic violence victim is a lifestyle factor, not a medical condition, and should be treated exactly the same as someone who smokes - higher premiums.

I can't believe that the insurance companies are so stupid.  All it will take is one victim who refuses to report the abuse because she's afraid of losing coverage, and then getting badly maimed or killed as a result, for a big, nasty lawsuit.  Once the company's internal correspondence is made public after the discovery phase of the suit, there will be witch hunts set up in Congress.



Its not the insurance companies that are stupid, its idiot regulators. In the states in question the factors that an insurer can use to set premiums are severely limited in the interest of subsidizing high risk insured by lower risk insured. The only tool they are left with is to deny coverage completely. Unintended consequences are a bitch.

Its so cute how you childish little Libs are throwing your little tantrums because I refuse to accept that your far left blogs are real news sources.



You also refuse to accept the Associated Press as a legitimate news source, The New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc., etc..

That is until they run an article that you agree with, then you have no problem listing them as a credible source.




Sanity -> RE: domestic violence a 'preexisting condition' (3/4/2010 10:36:04 AM)


Greatest president ever.

And you call others childish [:D] ? If you weren't so old, I'd give you a bloody good spanking.




Sanity -> RE: domestic violence a 'preexisting condition' (3/4/2010 10:38:51 AM)


You're so full of shit. I've never denied they're legitimate news sources, what I've said about them is they're biased to the left, which thats completely accurate.
