Ive never publicly announced a story I plan to report. Today I am. @BillCassidy, @LindseyGrahamSC, @SenateGOP , @SenateDems @jimmykimmel....
...@JimmyKimmelLive should pay attention. As I have been very public about, I have a pre-existing condition that barred me from health...
...insurance until I had a group policy. Cassidy, Graham and @potus are falsely stating, in hopes of fooling the uninformed, that preexist..
...conditions are "covered" in the bill. (and you can also buy an apple - for $150,000 - so that's available.) If their monstrous bill...
...passes, once it is effective, I will begin applying for private insurance. The standard I will apply is no policy that accounts for....
...more than 20% of my net income can be considered actual insurance. It is just shifting cash-for-care to cash-to-insurance-to-care. Then..
...I will tabulate: How many applications did I send out, and did I ever get "coverage." Once the outcome -- which is predictable - is....
...evident, I will be contacting Cassidy, Graham and the Senate GOP to ask them to explain why, if preexisting conditions were "covered"...
...I couldn't obtain insurance. HIGH RISK POOLS DO NOT COUNT. Those have been tried before and yes, they provide limited coverage to a...
...small percentage of people who have pre-existing conditions. Because the available cash is capped, most ppl are rejected. Next, I am...
...going to set up a special email account. I will ask for volunteers -- other ppl with preexisting conditions - to also apply for....
...insurance, for themselves and their children (if it is the kids who have the condition) and keep me up to date on their progress. The....
...account will be flooded with anti-semitic comments from the nazis and white supremacists who now call themselves the GOP (its happened...
...before) but I will weed through those to find REAL people who are willing to do this. We will all apply the same standards: 20% of net...
...income is not coverage. We will then tabulate the outcomes, and when the lies of the @SenateGOP are exposed, they will have to explain...
...to their voters -- the ones with cancer, diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, heart conditions, or any other illness -- why they lied to them...
...just so they could claim a "win" and funnel tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. You know -- the ones whose insurance will be fine.....
...because they get it through their employers - because they are the group whose insurance comes through employers that provide insurance..
...in doing this article it is my hope to show: Lies & propaganda have replaced policy, and our govnt -- particularly the GOP -- no longer..
...cares about real people. And the GOP only cares about tax cuts for the rich. (Which is why they fought payroll tax cuts for mid class.)
...Of course, perhaps someone in the GOP will grow a conscience & this bill will fail. So I wont have to prove the magnitude of their lies.
..Meanwhile, as the GOP pursues its relentless effort to kill people for tax cuts, it is not renewing CHIP, which expires in 8 days and....
...provides health coverage to 8.9 million children. The "pro-life" crowd is ignoring this to kill ACA, which means this kids lives at risk.
A note: To pursue article I described, Illl have to give up group insurance first. I will have heavy medical bills. Just to prove the lies.
