Are you serious? So that person won't get care- I guess the American Cancer Treatment Centers will be Destroyed by Obamacare as well.
2 :
Yes. $350k per year. $100k goes for the health care - the other $250 pays the bureaucrats to pass your claim from one department to another.
3 :
At least they will now be able to get a policy. Before HCR, they would have been laughed at by an insurance company.
4 :
People can purchase insurance from an exchange. It is up to the policy they buy. Why am I getting that YA cons have no idea what is going on?
5 :
Do you really think Obamacare will authorize treatment for lung cancer. Not.....I am sure he will pass out some obama pain pills and show them to the euthanasia rooms. Edit-Anyone can buy health ins through their state for high risk patients insurance. It is expensive but it is available. Law girl- you should know that.
6 :
That is an utter and complete lie.\ If you have pre existing lung cancer you will be able to get care. PERIOD. Why are YOU worried about the cost, I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE LIFE for it could be a coal miner, or a person whom was forced to work around second hand smoke in the 70's or it just could be heredetary. How sick has this debate begun. It is MONEY OVER LIFE. That sounds republican? just askin

That may be true. It is really no different than now. Now, the previous plan had caps and a public option that would have helped this person, but that was thrown out as ridiculous.

At least as much as it does now.. there is no saving or anything cheaper happening. They watered this bill down so much that al it is doing now is to allow insurance companies to cover more and the government will pick up the tab... nice huh.. and you know where the government gets its money.. from us. So we are just going to be paying and paying and paying! And now we get to pay for not only ourselves but all the deadbeats and welfare lazies and illegals too. Thanks Barry!

The question is, does the federal government have the power to fund a health care system? The answer is NO. The constitution of the U.S. does not allow the funding of this monstrosity. Read the enumerated powers of the congress in the constitution.
10 :
very good question, i smoke and lung cancer is always in the back of my mind.
11 :
The cost for Obama Care will be the same. However, don't expect any treatment. In socialized medicine, you end up on a list and by the time you reach the top, you will be deemed too sick for any treatment. That is how socialized medicine saves money by denying healthcare.
