Dodgers jump on, off health insurance, costing Mass. taxpayers millions

In Massachusetts, thousands of “jumpers and dumpers” are buying health plans just before major operations and procedures and then chucking their coverage afterwards, sticking remaining policy-holders with the bills. Same loophole exists in ObamaCare. The pols decided it was just out of greed that evil insurance companies denied coverage for so-called “pre-existing” conditions. Another epic failure for the country’s smarter-than-everyone-else pack of morons. But don’t worry, they’ll find somebody else to blame for their stupidity this time, too.

  • Well DUH!!!!! This is all part of the plan.

    I do agree that insurance companies should be able to deny coverage for existing conditions. However, they should not be able to drop someone due to a change in health. A friend of mine got diagnosed with cancer, and her insurance dropped her faster than a bag of wet concrete.

  • Not to worry, the way congress is raiding the Odumbocare funds, this practice will come to an end.

  • If I was driving my car down the street without insurance , struck another vehicle , then called some insurance company up to get my vehicle insured , I would be an evil person.

    If I did not have health insurance , then went to the gay bath house , had sex with 30-40 men , then realized I had AIDS ; If I did not have health insurance , and smoked 3-4 packs of cigaretts a day , then realized I had something terrible wrong with me ; If I ate and ate and ate and ate , and was now unable to hold a normal job and realized my body was failing , and they all called up the insurance company and demanded to be signed up , Then I would be an EVIL person.

    Thank you , the party of EVIL for helping your own.
