Fallacy #1 on the health care trigger option just said by a guest on "The Ed Show".

[Cleita]

He said that if everything that is said about the insurance companies is true, then a real trigger option should come into effect. IF IT'S TRUE??? What lalaland are these pundits living in? Have they ignored the pages and pages of testimony on line and in LTTE pages around the country. Did they not see Michael Moore's move "Sicko?" Have they not heard testimony not only on Town Hall meetings but on radio shows and on TV on the shows like the above mentioned " The Ed Show" that have put testimony after testimony up about how no one is actually getting real health care paid for from their insurance; how they are denied claims or refused coverage for pre-existing conditions; how people who thought they were covered found out they weren't when the hospital bill came? WHAT LALALAND ARE THEY LIVING IN!

I myself get Medicare but among my friends and acquaintances I'm hearing the same stories. Never get sick. Your insurance company will not have your back when you really need it. So it is a fact that those stories about insurance companies are true and there are thousands of those stories that just don't make it a coincidence or unusual occurrence. Please there is no justification for a trigger option if all they want is to prove that millions of Americans aren't lying. It's another ruse to keep us, the people, from achieving meaningful access to health care through our government which supposedly in a Democracy we run.
