re: #856 Rightwingconspirator

Thanks, that’s a helpful post. I desperately need the pre exisiting condition thing worked out, my dear wife has a childhood ailment, and can’t get it as an individual. She is unemployed. Complicating a job search by only taking jobs with medical coverage is hardly an option in a economy like this.

Best of luck working that out. I’ve been there. My wife having breast cancer in her medical history was a very complicating thing when it comes to job hunting.

It would be interesting to know if there are any decent stats on how much of a drag on the economy the pre-existing condition problem is: people who can’t change jobs, relocate or otherwise better themselves because it would muck up their coverage. I suspect it is significant, but I don’t know that.
