Letter to the Editor~by Al Segalla
Dear Editor, Incoming Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor has said that Republicans now want to keep two significant parts of Obamacare: forcing insurance companies to offer coverage for people up to age 26 under their parents' policies, and forcing insurance companies to issue coverage for pre-existing conditions. It seems, repealing one bill and replacing it with a similar one is not repeal......
Issuing coverage for a pre-existing medical condition is like issuing coverage for a car that has just had an accident. It doesn't make any sense, and no insurance company would do it in a free market.
Also, forcing insurance companies to cover adults up to age 26 under their parents' policy seems to be regulatory abuse.
Where in the constitution does the federal government get authority to require this nonsense?
If Republicans succeed in keeping these Obamacare policies, it will mean significantly higher insurance premiums for everyone, in order to subsidize the huge new expenses that insurance companies will be forced to pay.
Why not restore and revive our free market health care system?
Shouldn’t individuals be free to determine the level of health insurance they want, the level of health care they want, the care providers they want, the medicines and treatments they will use and all other aspects of their medical care, including end-of-life decisions?
Also, people should be free to purchase health insurance across state lines. Isn’t this what is meant by interstate commerce?
Albert J. Segalla"
