But luckily Obama came along with ObamaCare and the government will set up high risk pools and these people will get the medical care that the demagogues have claimed is a human right. Well, in the words of Joe Wilson: "You lie!!"
The Obama administration has not ruled out turning sick people away from an insurance program created by the new healthcare law to provide coverage for the uninsured.
Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool program insist it will run out of money before Jan. 1, 2014. That’s when the program sunsets and health plans can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.
Of course, this really comes as no surprise:
Healthcare experts of all stripes warned during the healthcare debate that $5 billion would likely not last until 2014. Millions of Americans cannot find affordable healthcare because of their pre-existing conditions, and that amount would only cover a couple hundred thousand people, according to a recent study by the chief Medicare actuary.
Bottom line: It's Bush's fault people have pre-existing conditions!!!
In reality, the money never runs out. That's why the government can keep spending more money. Which, in turn, will help to improve the economy. See?
