73. the part that I like is....
not disqualified for pre-existing conditions. I think THAT is what makes it Universal. Certainly the system the insurance companies have now where they pay bonuses for employees who disqualify people to save them money stinks. They had a report on last night where one employee made 20,000 in bonuses for denying claims. The one was for a woman who said she was well when she took it out and then was diagnosed with breast cancer a short time later. They said she had a pre-existing condition because of some minor thing. The lady sued and won a 9 million dollar settlement. Good for her!
