There is a difference between "have to" and "happens"

Cant get insurance in Texas if it isn't through an employer. We already went through that before.

You like to just make up lies.

A number of people do it. That doesn't mean its particularly affordable.

I can't buy coverage that covers treatment at my local public cancer hospital at any price.

And so it begins..



"I can't get coverage" move to I can't get coverage at this on particular hospital.

They don't even cover the public cancer hospital in town. I can get coverage at that hospital using the same carrier, and the same BCBS group (with the same CEO), by simply becoming a permanent resident of a Democratic state.

Multi-state would be a disaster, because it they would simply apply Texas rules everywhere.

The real solution is single payer. Simply expand Medicare to cover everyone. Allow Medicare to negotiate with providers and drug companies.

That would have solved and would continue to solve a lot of problems. It would be cheaper for our economy, it would save businesses money, it would provide equality of treatment, and it would have avoided getting gay rights involved in this whole mess. And it would stop companies trying to make employee's health choices for them.
