Health Insurance is like a umbrella that dissolves in the rain.
This clusterfuck of a Senate bill just proves how fucking evil these "health" insurance companies are. They will make up ANY excuse to deny you coverage while making sure you pay them anyway. That is what the goddamn mandate is about, to make us their serfs.

This industry needs to be destroyed, they are no different than the Mafia.

1. I have health insurance, but cannot afford to access treatment
I just don't have the money to afford the co-payments.

3. PERFECT analogy
which is why if this pig's ear of a bill passes with no Medicare buy in and no public option but a fine for not fattening insurance executives, I'll be one of the first scofflaws.

I might vote in 2010 because my freshman Congressman is a Democrat who's been voting the way I would were I there.

However, I understand people who will stay home. I think a lot will.

If Democrats in Congress demoralize the base again, their days in power are over.

Again.

6. I feel betrayed.
One thing is for certain, my Blue Dog Congressperson, Collin Peterson, will NOT get my vote in 2010. I have had enough of these corporatist scumbags!

8. If he has a primary opponent
Everybody in your state who feels betrayed needs to get out and start banging on doors to unseat the turd then.
