What happens then?

Are profit making insurance companies going to back you then? The way the system is set up is inhumane, even to those who want to find a job.

You think it's so easy for everyone to find a job?? I have a part time job now, but there have been periods of my life where I went out every single day to every store/business I could find to apply for anything they have, and get turned down. You may have a steady job. That doesn't mean everyone that works hard at finding a steady job will find one.

Just because YOU have a nice, steady situation, does not mean everyone else in this country does. The people voted these people in government in, and this is what government voted for. If anyone doesn't like it, I suggest working harder to get your conservative heroes voted in office.

In any case, I find anyone's human life, hard working or not, important.

We are not animals, we are supposed to be a species of higher intelligence with the means for curing major diseases.

You do realize that the "profit-making" insurance companies are going to get millions of great (young/healthy) clients handed to him by this legislation, right? Or the that that a lot of the financial burden of this law falls directly onto businesses that are already hurting which will make it even harder to find jobs as they contract to get under the limits or simply make less money which means they hire fewer people and pay them less? That the someone who will eventually pay the price for this law is me and you and the generations for as far as you can see?
