Political bullsh*t on pre-existing conditions

Right now, regarding the health care debate in Washington, all I want is for insurance companies not to be allowed to drop or change your insurance because of pre-existing conditions.  Both Republicans and Democrats want this as well, but the Democrats tell us we have to be in favor for this bill and get it passed now to have this.

This, I will have to admit got me kind of hooked, then it hit me. What the hell are they talking about? Not just the Democrats, but the Republicans as well. If they both want the pre-existing condition option, then pass that now. Not the whole bill, just the part about the pre-existing conditions. Or was President Clinton some kind of super hero? He got it passed when he was in office, and it stayed that way until George “screw the little guys” Bush came into office and removed it and added a cap on malpractice suits for his Big Business buddies.

But the main point is, if Clinton could get a bill passed just targeting the pre-existing condition part when he was in office, then it can be done now. So what the “F” is up? Take out all the stuff that both parties agree on, and draft a bill on just those points and argue on the rest later. It can be done, and has been done in the past. /MM :evil:
