In other words, yeah, you're happy with your health care, until you get cancer or some other disease that needs long term care and your insurance company kicks you to the curb.

I still want to know why mandatory insurance as has been proposed is any better. The cost is totally prohibitive to this nation and nothing has been said about the insurance having to cover anything other than collecting more premiums.....no guarantees that they won't still kick you to the curb or just not pay in the first place ("oops, that's not covered"). For my money, all insurance companies regardless of who runs them should have to live under the mandate, "You accept premiums, you pay out or you are out of business."
