5. This one always gets me.

There WERE death panels - they were the people who worked at the insurance companies.
They could literally sentence you to death, or at least pain.

After a car accident, my insurance stopped paying when I'd been in the hospital a little over a week.
Then they essentially kicked me out, into a nursing home.
I spent one night there, in horrible pain (after meds every three hours in the hospital, the nursing home gave me 1 Vicodin to get through the night, enjoying the pain from broken ribs and a leg that was broken in 22 places...).

When my husband and father-in-law bullied the hospital into re-admitting me, I was actually in withdrawal from the hospital meds.

And after that, I needed something like 10 more days in the hospital.

But some jackass at a desk somewhere - over the strenuous objections of my doctor - got to decide that what was best for my recovery was for me to suffer - as long as they saved some money.

8. I've always said the insurance companies are the real death panels

Insurance is great, until you use it (or try to).

9. You haven't seen rationed healthcare until you've had an HMO

Waiting weeks and sometimes months to get an appointment. Good luck getting to see a specialist.

12. Longer waits

Sure people will have to wait longer but I feel it's worth the wait if it means more people will be covered. It's a price I'm willing to pay.

11. A HS acquaintance on Facebook announced she had stage 4 lung cancer at age 40.

This was on the day of the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Obama-care. She declared it the "Day the Constitution Died.". She barely finished HS and is blue collar all the way.

Makes ya wanna smack your head against a brick wall.

13. Hope she has better insurance than Obama's Mom had.

Just found out this morning that the Washington Post is smearing that part of his history too.

Apparently the Post doesn't understand that disability insurance - ongoing coverage for an extended illness - is ALSO insurance, so they are saying Obama is incorrectly blaming the insurance company for denying his mother coverage. I suppose she should have picked an illness that didn't extend beyond the standard coverage, even though she paid for extended benefits.

AND even if what everything the Washington Post says is true... they allege his mother "knew" she possibly had a terminal illness though she said she wasn't informed by the doctor about suspicions of that pre-existing condition written in a chart months before she got a job with benefits.... It only STRENGTHENS the case against pre-existing condition denial of coverage because it causes people to DIE of treatable diseases based on the NEED/GREED of Insurance Companies whose $$Bottom LINE$$ is more important than HUMAN LIFE.
