Insurance Companies Can Pick Who to Insure - So You Loose

October 21, 2009

Insurance companies decide who is fit to insure and the way they do it proprietary and profit driven. A company cannot make money if they insure people who are sick or don't meet their health profile. Denying coverage is normal they are not based on a personal vendetta or malice but on profit.

Recently two children were in the news about being denied coverage, one was an infant deemed too fat and the other a toddler deemed too skinny. Who knew? Not the patient. That's they way they like it.

When you profit from only insuring the well, you can make a lot of money. And when a person does get get sick they can deny coverage based on the fine print no one reads. They love premiums not sick people.

These cases and thousands more show how important health care reform is, how the working poor and those without jobs during this recession suffer needless physical and emotional pain.

The non working poor will always get care and the rich have the money. Fortunately most Americans have jobs with a health care plan but it is the working poor who suffer the most.

It is time for reform so everyone is covered, someway, somehow.

It is frustrating we must rely on financially well off Congressmen with health insurance to to solve this problem. It also doesn’t help that they take money from the very insurance companies fighting against universal health care.

Maybe Americans are destined to loose because of greed on all sides.
