Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (09/09/2010 Webchat)

[swadia100]

This is the biggest bunch of crap I have ever seen. I don't know what is worse, the sneaky way this so-called HCR or the way certain groups of people are rewarded at the expense of other taxpayers. My individual HC premiums went up in order to pay for early retirees of the government, unions, and large companies !!

What happens if your employer doesn't go for this program as mine didn't? After Cobra all I have (because no insurer will give me an individual policy) is to wait 6 mos. w/o coverage then pay exorbitant premiums for my state(AZ) high risk policy. Why didn't you stick to your promise for a public option, I know, because it wouldn't have passed. Well the one you passed isn't doing me any good.
