I don't think you read page two of that article that shows Wellpoint's response to the fraud and abuse exposed. I hold out judgement on the other case until it's known exactly why some of the rescissions occured. My 2 year old daughter who had hip dysplasia just had over $70,000 worth of bills from our insurance covered through Blue Cross with no problems or rescission. Real world case....real world experience. And no problems with receiving care.

You're sadly misinformed. From the bill itself: Of course this is not mandatory. The services are covered if you desire to make use of it. How you people take this to mean government assisted suicide is beyond me.

There's more to it than that. There is a concern to the effect of rationing due rto rising costs. Actually it's inevitable. And most people have figured out that soaring deficits will force the issue. The elderly are figuring this out quickly. It's not roving death squads, but the concern is costs, and shortages forcing the inevitable. Most people with some economic sense can figure this one out pretty easily. Also I think you need to go back and read pages 239 and 427 again. It's pretty ominous stuff there.
Some of us don't want bureacrats involved at any point in our health care at all? It's a disaster in the making. Looks like 57% oppose the current Democrat approach. And only 32% want single payer.

Sorry if I don't buy into the "screw you - I got mine!" attitude when our society is being choked to death by corporations putting their profits before our health and welfare.

I didn't always "have mine". I had to work, plan and prioritize for it. But it is a question of when you think you are responsible for your own life. Do you think the taxpayers owe you a car mookie? If not...why not. You probably need some form of transportation to get to a job or get to your government provided doctor. Right? How about auto insurance? Should taxpayers pony up for your auto insurance...because as you know...you're just one collision away from bankruptcy possibly. How about the taxpayer owing you free food and vitamins for your health? Gotta eat right? Can't work without nutrition. Do you think the taxpayers should also throw you Universal housing? If not...why not? The issue is, at what point are you responsible for yourself mookie?
