Remember all the promises that Obamacare would prevent anyone applying for health insurance from being denied coverage due to previous medical conditions or past healthcare history? Well, another promise just got broken.
Today's Daily Caller reported that some time between June 19, 2009, the date on a copy of the Obamacare bill obtained by The Daily Caller, and early fall 2009, when the Democrats introduced the bill into the House of Representatives, the provision that would have stopped Medigap plan providers, including American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) partners, from discriminating against senior citizens with pre-existing conditions was dropped. This is very interesting since the AARP was one of the strongest supporters of the bill. By supporting the bill, the AARP totally betrayed the people they are supposed to represent.
The article reported:
"A House Democratic aide told Kaiser Health News (KHN) earlier this year that the Medigap provision was removed from the bill because it cost too much."
There is so much chicanery surrounding the Affordable Care Act and the way it was passed that it should be repealed because of that alone! I hope the courts strike this law down--it does not do the things that are needed in healthcare reform and it creates nothing but problems for Americans who have previously been satisfied with their health insurance and healthcare. It is a perfect example of both crony capitalism and government overreach.
