[QUOTE="Maui, post: 1204672, member: 45037"] The previous system was not working for 46 million Americans without healthcare. There were no protections against recission (canceling insurance for those that get sick when they need it most), women had to pay more just because of gender, children were not covered until age 26, the donut hole meant seniors sometimes had to choose between essential medications and food, and of course the insurance companies could exclude sick people. We must also consider that we spend at least double the amount on healthcare (as a percentage of GDP) than any other nation, but we do not have outcomes that reflect that. Our infant mortality rate is appaling. IMO, there is NO reason that the wealthiest nation in the world should have uninsured citizens. [/QUOTE]
