Federal Judge Rules That Health Law Violates Constitution (February 1,
2011) The legislation put an end to lifetime limits on coverage for
the first time, erasing the financial burdens, including personal
bankruptcy, that had affected many ailing Americans.
MJ
So OTHER PEOPLE should be FORCED and ENSLAVED to provide payment for 'care'.

For example, Hillary St. Pierre, a 28-year-old former registered nurse
who has Hodgkin's lymphoma, had expected to reach her insurance plan's
$2 million limit this year. Under the new law, the cap was eliminated
when the policy she gets through her husband's employer was renewed
this year.

"But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.
"Then abolish this law without delay, for it is not only an evil itself, but also it is a fertile source for further evils because it invites reprisals. If such a law which may be an isolated case is not abolished immediately, it will spread, multiply, and develop into a system.
"The person who profits from this law will complain bitterly, defending his acquired rights. He will claim that the state is obligated to protect and encourage his particular industry; that this procedure enriches the state because the protected industry is thus able to spend more and to pay higher wages to the poor workingmen.
"Do not listen to this sophistry by vested interests. The acceptance of these arguments will build legal plunder into a whole system. In fact, this has already occurred. The present-day delusion is an attempt to enrich everyone at the expense of everyone else; to make plunder universal under the pretense of organizing it."

Ms. St. Pierre, who has already come close once before to losing her
coverage because she had reached the plan's maximum, says she does not
know what she will do if the cap is reinstated. "I will be forced to
stop treatment or to alter my treatment," Ms. St. Pierre, who lives in
Charlestown, N.H., with her husband and son, said in an e-mail. "I
will find a way to continue and survive, but who is going to pay?"
MJ
Yeah ... "Not I said St. Pierre."
REED ABELSON
"We've got to protect people from catastrophic health problems," said
Ron Pollack, the executive director of Families USA, a consumer
advocacy group that favored the law's passage. "We don't want people
bankrupted."
MJ
Yeah, FUCK those who will be FORCED to pay for others so long as
anyone with an ailment has access to other people's wallets.
REED ABELSON
Protecting people from facing these extremes is one of the main goals
of the law, according to its proponents.
MJ
Economic ignorance abounds.
REED ABELSON
Before the law was passed, an estimated 20,000 insured Americans
reached the lifetime limits of their coverage each year. Decades old,
these restrictions were put in place when both medical care and health
insurance were much less expensive than they are today, said Tom
Wildsmith, an official with the American Academy of Actuaries.
MJ
And we do not give a shit WHY medical care and insurance are so
expensive NOW either. Just give us access to other people's wallets.
