GOP Wants CHOICE in health care. It's seductive... but what are the best agruments against "Choice"?

3. This one:

Illness is not a consumer decision.

Choice, my ass. The only plan should be one that covers everything, should everything happen and stop short of killing us. None of this lifetime cap bullshit, only a tiny percentage of people will ever come near it and making it non transferable makes certain families will be watching people they love be neglected to death. None of the preexisting condition stuff is valid and none of the increased premiums for older people because they're likelier to have chronic health conditions is valid. To insist on either blames the patient for being sick as if s/he had chosen it rather than sticking with the mild cold s/he could afford.

I'm sick of these cretins with their damned actuarial tables, playing the blame game and making sure no rich guy has to be inconvenienced by contributing chump change to the well being of the country.
