My questions have to do with the promised national healthcare system. This is a little too complex for one simple question.

In the present system we have preferred carriers and substandard carriers. Preferred carriers have better rates simply by avoiding adverse underwirting while the substandard companies have higher rates due to more liberal underwriting. Then of course some people are denied coverage because of health conditions. I am sure R13 understands this perfectly I just want to explain it to Spuds.

With the uniform healthcare promised by The Chosen One how are rates going to be lower, given the fact that even the substandard companies will be assuming more risks?

What will happen to the people who are currently uninsurable? Will the insurance industry be FORCED to insure them even though the end result will be a loss of revenue?

Will the Tier system still be used to determine coverage classes? If so how many tiers?

What roll will actuaries play in the new system? Will there still be a need for them?

What will happen to the COBRA Law??

What will be the penelty for companies that just can't assume the added financial strain of healthcare?

Will the unemployed be covered? There could possibly be more people in that class. If so at who's expense?

If the cost of living is so high, why does it remain so popular?

Where is R13 the "sees all and knows all" ?
He has explained everything else to us.

Alright...this is ridiculous...

1) If you want to ask R13 a question directly and you really want his answer and to discuss it with him (dunno why any of you would want that, but oh well)...PM him the question and let him answer if he wishes.

2) Good questions on here (besides the last two silly ones--which I laughed at) that could deserve their own thread for all of us to discuss...why not direct them to the whole board instead of singling out a poster? Ask yourself--is this about the actual question or about taking your time to attack another poster? If it's the latter, grow up and talk about the issues instead.

I'm locking this one up...take the above advice guys. It'll make for better discussion on the topics and be constructive. Talk about the issues themselves instead of whining and moaning about another poster who has just as much a right to be on this part of the board as any of you do--regardless of knowledge level.
