SHOW NOTES FROM JUNE 30 2012 - PART 2

Lot of confusion this week about what you need when you’re sick. Here’s what you don’t need. Health insurance.  Here’s what you need. Health care. Treatment. Help. 


PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS:

 

  • Children can no longer be denied coverage because of a preexisting conditions like asthma, autism or diabetes.

High Risk Adults:

HEALTH CARE IS BROCCOLI IS THE CHEVY BOLT?

Lots of discussion this week on the evils of the individual mandate. Some are terrified of what the government will do next. Forced broccoli eating? No, God no, not even the Nazis...The more well heeled are terrified they'll be forced to give up their luxury imports and drive a Chevy Volt. All these arguments are rational to a degree and academically fascinating but there's a hard core reality to being human, we get sick. It's random, frequently nasty and all too often life threatening.

Suleika Jaouad's story, facing cancer in her twenties, says it all. She was "immortal". At least felt immortal as most of us do in our twenties when she developed leukemia. All of a sudden she had needs that broccoli, Chevy Volts or any other commodity couldn't solve. She needed health care and now or face death. It's why health care is unique among all commodities. It's why the individual mandate is a must.
