The Big Lie: Insurance Companies ALLOWED TO DENY COVERAGE under Obama Care

I was listening to WBIA, Far Left Wing Radio, on the train this morning. You know, I like to hear what the enemy is saying to keep up on the battle.

Anyway, Michael Moore, the notorious Lefty propagandist filmmaker that has given us such classics as Roger and Me, Bowling for Columbine, and Sicko, was very upset about a provision in the health care reform bill that allows insurance companies to deny people with pre-existing conditions coverage by paying $100 a day fine.

This is what I found,

"Even.. You know what this bill says if they deny you coverage? Let's say they actually just say go ahead and say deny you because of a pre-existing condition, the fine is $100 a day. Per individual you have denied. So just think about that," says the Michigan native filmmaker. "The insurance company is going 'So, for a year, that would 36,500 dollars, but the operation is going to cost $100,000. You know what? I think we'll take the fine.'"

Insurance companies will continue to deny coverage to those with pre-existing medical conditions

Question 4. Is the bill going to stop insurance companies from denying coverage to those with previously existing medical conditions?

No, not right away and maybe not at all.

The bill allows insurance companies to keep denying coverage to sick children like they do presently for 6 months after enactment. The bill also gives the insurance companies an additional 4 years of denying adults coverage or dropping them due to previous conditions before they have to stop that immoral practice. Once the regulations take effect, insurance companies will face a paltry $100/day fine if they violate the rule. With fines that low it is quite likely insurance companies will choose to pay the fines as opposed to the more expensive medical care they should provide. It only makes sense for them to do so. After all, they aren't in the healthcare business. Insurance companies are in the profit business. If given a choice between increasing their profits or not, is it reasonable or prudent to expect the insurance companies to lower their profits and cover those who need expensive treatments out of the goodness of their hearts?

Remember, that line Obama once used about a pig wearing lipstick, is still a pig?
