    Trumpery is going to consign millions of Americans to death or bankruptcy and maybe both.

    The case below demonstrates the ruthlessness of Insurance companies who can cite trivial errors on policy applications as the cause for declining payment. Note that the Insurance Companies never offer to pay back the years of premiums and interest when they refuse to pay for medical services.

    The GOP is a slave of Trump as they fail to solve the difficult problems of health insurance and let Trumpery prevail as the means of confounding insurance for the most unfortunate Americans with medical conditions.

    The death tax would have taken his entire farm.

    Do you support letting insurance companies deny coverage to those with pre existing conditions? I thought that wasone of the better provisions in Obamacare.

    A guys farm is valued at, let’s say, five million. When the owner dies and the farm is passed to his kids they need to come up with two and a half million. At that point they sell it to the corporations libs hate. Just wait until Jerry Jones dies.

    Insurance companies don’t treat pre existing conditions, doctors do. Are you implying they won’t?

    Doing a records check on Chris Petersen's, his farm (C&K Farm) is 400 acres. That's .625 of a square mile.

    He and his wife Kristi maintain a 30-sow Berkshire hog herd on their farm near Clear Lake, IA; they produce 400 pigs per year.

    Here we go, the average value of one acre of farmland in Clear Lake, Ia. is $7,703 dollars.

    Chfris Petersen also a self proclaimed progressive trouble maker from the 60's so he has claimed.
    He goes back to Al Gore back in 2000.
    He is a Al Gore, Kerry, Obama and crooked Hillary supporter big time.

    im from Iowa, lefty.


    If you want to know why Democrats should be worried after Hillary Clinton’s first week on the campaign trail, ask yourself this question: Can you imagine Marco Rubio, Scott Walker or Jeb Bush walking into a Chipotle wearing big, dark sunglasses, trying not to be recognized?

    Can you imagine Barack Obama doing it?

    Maybe Clinton’s future’s so bright she has to wear shades, but the grainy security camera pictures of the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination hiding from voters presents a troubling contrast with the growing Republican field.

    Clinton planned to launch her presidential campaign with an intimate “listening tour” where she could meet and interact with everyday Americans. But when she had the chance to meet and interact with some actual everyday Americans eating their burritos, she avoided them. Then her campaign staged a visit to an Iowa coffee shop, recruiting “fake” everyday Americans for her to meet and talk with.

    The story deals with something that happened at least 15 years ago. I'm surprised, if his story is true, that a State Insurance Agency or Commissioner wouldn't handle the dispute.Currently, Medica, in Iowa, covers people with pre existing conditions.

    I was asking if you support keeping the provision in Obamacare which requires insurance companies to cover people with pre existing conditions without jacking up thier rates.

    Mr./Mrs/MS Bean must be bored, so some math for the OP to complete.

    Since only 11 million people have ObamaCare, how will 24 million people die if it is repealed? Will an additional 13 million people be randomly shot?

    Obama took away heath insurance from millions of paying citizens. Dems didn't care then.

    If the patient has health insurance before, in other words, never went without coverage. You can't wait until you have brain cancer to get coverage so you can get 2 million in treatments and operations.

    And that's why insurance companies have dropped out of it since the beginning and premiums shot up to all time high.

    Your numbers are a little old, but to answer your question. You should include the Medicaid expansion that covers 15 million folks in most states except some red ones.

    This is just stupid. How can an insurance company increase coverage without raising rates? It's simply not possible. The reform we need is in breaking through the red tape and barriers that exist between your doctor and the people who pay the bills.

    Oh and if the OP is accurate, the farmers should sue the insurance company.

    So you support not requiring insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions, right?
