64. I understand this - however this bill will not prevent the denial of health care

They can still deny care, just not for preexisting conditions.

I completely understand that you want to be able to have insurance coverage for your child.

The problem is that this bill empowers a very corrupt industry that will continue to put their profit motives ahead of patient care. It may seem fine to make a deal with a devil now, but millions find themselves with inadequate insurance or denial of care. We are strengthening the companies that created the situation where your child can be denied care.

They aren't going to become more ethical. They will just play different games.

This bill does not solve the problem. You may find yourself with the ability to buy insurance coverage without actual health care coverage.

We need to protect ourselves from these companiea, not empower them.
