Remember when people who had pre-existing conditions could be denied coverage by health insurance companies?
That was GOPDon'tCare.
Remember when people faced lifetime coverage caps on their health insurance? If they racked up too many medical bills, the insurance companies could cut them off, and not pay any more claims, forcing them to pay their own bills, all too often into bankruptcy?
That was GOPDon'tCare.
Remember when health insurance companies could refuse to cover certain treatments, claiming that they were "experimental," so they could protect their profits against costly personal medical claims?
That was GOPDon'tCare.
Remember when health insurance companies could deny women coverage for certain services for reproductive health, including birth control and medically necessary abortions?
That was GOPDon'tCare.
Remember when almost fifteen percent of Americans didn't have healthcare insurance, because the insurance companies either made it too costly, or simply refused to provide it?
That was GOPDon'tCare.
That's what the GOP wants to shut down the government, wreck our national credit rating, throw the global economy into a nosedive that would've made the 9/11 terrorists jealous, throw millions of people out of work where they could lose homes, health, families, and more, to force us back to go back to. It's a rhetorical question, but I'll ask it anyway: Are they INSANE?!?!?

(17,528 posts)they are selfish pigs without empathy. It's hard to believe they are so fiercely against Obamacare and Obama. Again, voting against their own interest! How stupid!

(1,524 posts)Is there something in the ACA that stops insurance companies from denying "experimental" treatments?

Don't you get it?
They're against "OBAMACARE", the right-wing boogeyman where Obama is giving away free health care for black people and paying for it by stealing from white people's Medicare and with a huge tax increase on EVERYBODY. Including already broke job creators which will destroy America from within as part of a master plan by communist, fascist, atheist, satanic, gay Muslims on pot.
Don't believe it? Ask a typical FOX "News" viewer.
