And you talk about "being a man" - "men prefer death on their feet, then life on their knees bowing to Assholes Peace of SHIT"? ROFLMAO!!! Grow up kid - you're a Gov pleb.

@Burdock007 - Your response shows what a royal "ass clown" you are. Cuban health care IS NOT FREE (idiot). Look at their standard of living - poor and dying to get to the US - that's what you're in for when the Gov runs your life! Responsible people save their money, not living beyond their means - they may be even invest in catastrophic HC, but they DO NOT rely on a Gov that has proven its self reckless and irresponsible to the people. Gov is the problem - GET INFORMED.

@KendisKustomsDotCom ROFL! Who the fuck can save over 100k? Gaining 20-40k a year? So you saying that his fault wow what and ass clown rofl! The main problem of all this is why USA Medical care are so expensive? Ridiculous expensive. Cuba a poor country and is ranked 2 below USA on medical care and they give medical care for free.

No actually you've got it wrong. When you get diagnosed with MS or cancer, and then the private system calls you a dog and a trainwreck and pulls not just your coverage, but the coverage of all people in that area - then you're dead. The insurance companies can't arbitrarily cancel one person's coverage. But the can cancel coverage FOR THE WHOLE TOWN. The for profit insurance regime is subsidizing death. Republicans just want to kill poor people.

There are people suffering far worse, yet they aren't running to the Gov whining. Life doesn't owe Ms Howard or anyone a "fair life style". Ms Howard talks of pride in honoring her debt, but cries to the Gov about it?

If Ms Howard had a tax free personal HC savings account she would have been the one in control - not some profit hungry insurance company or especially the GOV!

Gov involvement in HC would just be another "company" with massive rationing of their services to boot.

She bought a health care plan? FAIL. This is where people have been shamed by Corp America and the Gov - turning into brainless sheeple.

People should be investing in themselves, not insurance companies, except maybe catastrophic coverage if needed (hazardous professions, etc.). Put your money in a savings HC account which the Gov can help by making it tax free. The Gov has no business, by it's track record or constitutionally, to be involved in social and private sector business PERIOD.

Guess she probably should have taken a closer look at what she was buying, huh?
