He too was outraged that they would deny him service for "preexisting conditions" and that the insurance company could cherrypick who they cover.

this makes you sound like an idiot and god it really pisses me off that something so stupid would be said
Rape is a pre-existing condition?
Rape Victim's Choice: Risk AIDS or Health Insurance?
my mother in law has bone cancer (5th round of what has become a life-long cancer battle) and a chronic low blood cell count. she was getting a weekly treatment to help her body produce more blood cells, but now her insurance is denying the treatment. because of this she hardly has the energy to go shopping, even with a wheelchair. her days have always been "numbered" but now she's feeling it and you can tell it weighs heavily on her. to hell with these insurance companies and to hell with your ridiculous example.
really that you would say some stupid shit like that in the face of real concerns affecting millions of our peers is sickening. i used to think highly of you based on conversations in transcendental thc and having a kickass avatar. it's hard even respecting you after this show.
