Romney says he would keep parts of Obamacare

Insurance is simply a contract that covers specified incidents. What difference does it make which state you live in. If the coverage applies and claim is incurred it should pay. Allowing a more competitive market place will increase competition and lower prices. Originally Posted by Laz

you live in Miami ... you drive to Mississippi and expect to pay the same rate you would if you live in Bumfuck?

you kids just dont get it do you.

No, CBJ7, you don't get it, and are sounding stupider the more you try to sound smart.

Hasn't happened yet, CBJ7, my delusional friend. You don't understand insurance. Admit it.

now would you care to explain how driving to Bumfuck Mississippi and buying a policy that that would cover you if you lived in Miami Florida would be any cheaper if you simply bought the same policy from an agent in Miami .... yanno, since you understand insurance so damn well?

Im waiting ................

So which is it CJ; in one post you say we already have free markets, now you say we don't.

Your a fool.

Gawd, you're an idiot. That's not calling names, that's stating a fact. You've got to be one of the dumbest people on this board, and that is a high bar to meet.

driving 300 miles across a state line to buy the same policy for the same coverage in the same city would lower the price of the same policy .. and you honestly believe that?


wow ......

You intentionally don't get it. Done with you. Post what you want, think what you want. The facts are as they are. You don't get it.

Why don't you go have a battle of wits with a box of rocks? My money is on the box.

In CJs world, Amazon can't compete because NOBODY would ever order a book or CD from them, after all they live thousands of miles away.

It would be stupid of Shopper Joe to be drive to Seattle, right ?

health insurance has people that make decisions that have a direct effect to the coverage, like Dr's and Insurance companys ...

what fucking part of that escapes you whirlie?

His point is that a person can shop all over the US for a policy that offers the features and benefits he wants at a price he is willing to pay without leaving their house. Of course insurance companies will take into consideration the costs of healthcare in the region the insured lives in but the ability to reduce their overhead by not having to deal with 50 regulatory agencies and the vastly more competitive environment will lower costs.

PS - CJ7 if you are an actuary convince me I am wrong. If not, start studying.

Actually if you are willing to spend the money you can get coverage with a pre existing condition. Originally Posted by TheDaliLama
