[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 118227"] Well, this just sent my blood pressure through the roof. OMG. Here's a scenario. Take a person who has been wiped out financially by ongoing health issues and medical bills (even with insurance). Hey, I fit that bill. That same person needs ongoing medical treatment from specialists and hospital stays are going to be inevitable. That same person, who has already lost their home, their job, their credit, is now going to be (possibly) denied adequate medical treatment because of their credit?!! We NEED some kind of universal health care coverage. While I appreciate that the democratic candidates (haven't really followed the republicans so can't say) see this, their solution is mandatory health insurance. It's a great idea. In theory. Those insurance companies are going to set their premiums and with this new information they are going to look at credit scores, just like they do for your homeowners and car insurance. So, people are going to have a double whammy. Higher premiums because of preexisting conditions and then hit with an even higher premium because of their poor credit, which is often a result of the preexisting condition that the insurance is already rating. I'm moving to France. [/QUOTE]
