“First, let’s be clear. You can keep the coverage you have if you choose to.”
I thought you were arguing for single payer.
I do favor a single payer. Obamacare does not. And single payer does not necessarily do away with private insurance regardless.
“Which rationing are you talking about?”
Stuff like this. Where Cigna boosts their profits by refusing doctors advice and allowing a 17 year to die for the sole reason of profits.
If this doesn’t make your blood boil there is something wrong with you.

RN’s Statement on Death of Nataline Sarkisyan: ‘CIGNA Should Have Listened to Her Doctors And Approved the Transplant a Week Ago’
The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee today blasted insurance giant CIGNA for failing to approve a liver transplant one week earlier for 17-year-old Nataline Sarkisyan, who tragically died last night just hours after CIGNA relented and agreed to the procedure following a massive national outcry.
On Dec. 11, four leading physicians, including the surgical director of the Pediatric Liver Transplant Program at UCLA, wrote to CIGNA urging the company to reverse its denial. The physicians said that Nataline “currently meets criteria to be listed as Status 1A” for a transplant. They also challenged CIGNA’s denial which the company said occurred because their benefit plan “does not cover experimental, investigational and unproven services,” to which the doctors replied, “Nataline’s case is in fact none of the above.”
