[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 349920, member: 59"] No one can be turned down for pre-existing conditions from any insurance company under this plan. If you are high risk you have the option of buying into a high risk plan. We were turned down by many insurance companies because of pre-existing conditions, none of which have ever cost our insurnace company a dime. We finally found coverage but it cost $36,000 a year. They did it because they could. We couldn't afford not to be covered. And yet they have forced us into a $10,000 deductible per person, thus making sure they would probably never have to pay out a dime. Personally I am very grateful this passed and only wish it contained the public option, but baby steps. I do believe quality health care is our right, not a privilege for those who can afford it. The scare tactics that have been used are really quite astonishing. When the sky doesn't fall in six months I will be anxious to see the response. No one is forced to change their insurance if they are happy with it. Nancy [/QUOTE]
