First off, let’s start with the fact that in 2007 46 million Americans in this country have NO health care whatsoever. Not Medicare, not Medicaid, nothing. So that’s 18% of the population who either cannot afford health care or will not qualify because of preexisting conditions. Then there are the people who’ve been in the hospital for costly procedures who had to battle the insurance companies in order to get treatment. A retired nurse from Texas testified before Congress that when she was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer, Blue Cross Blue Shield sent her an email informing her that because of an issue with her with her application(the company had mistaken her dermatologist’s notes on acne as a precancerous condition) her policy was being dropped. This was days before she was supposed to undergo a lifesaving hysterectomy. This practice, known as rescission, is often done by health insurance companies after one of their customers with an individual policy submits a claim for an expensive medical treatment. They dig through a patients records hoping to find anything that will disqualify the patient from receiving often much needed medical care. It saves the insurance company millions in medical claims; approximately 300 million was saved WellPoint Inc., UnitedHealth Group and Assurant Inc over a 5 year period. The insurance companies claim they are shielding themselves from fraud, however, during testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee committee over the practice of rescission, the CEOs from the nations top insurance companies refused to stop using rescission to cancel the policies of patients who did not intentionally deceive insurance companies on their applications. The key word being intentionally. They all responded by saying that the law allowed them terminating policies for even the most minor mistake. A poll conducted by the Harris Poll found that 75% of all Americans (independent, liberal, conservative) are actually for universal health care.
