[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 804147, member: 13254"] As far as the preexisting condition thing goes, I think what is currently in the law needs tweaking some. If a person is working for,say UPS, and diagnosed cancer then they have to to change jobs, I feel that the UPS insureance should be forced to continue coverage for that person in stead of forcing the new company to do so. Also, unless it is required to have a physical previous to starting with a new company that shows a problem, the new company can not claim preexisting conditions. I'm not sold on the idea of forcing insurance companies to cover someone that has never had coverage, for whatever reason, and when they get sick expect the companies to cover them. The insurance companies are already raising their rates in anticipation of the effects of Obamacare on their bottom line. Raising the legal retirement age for SS, medicare and medicaid is not a good idea either actually. There are many people that will not be able to work till their 70th birthday. The people that work very physical jobs, which are usually the lowest paying jobs, will put millions of people without an income of any kind. Those same people usually live paycheck to paycheck to just buy food, shelter and clothing, putting money away for retirement is nothing but a dream. [/QUOTE]
