Y’know what’s a really bad idea? Reading unintelligent, partisan garbage written by an ignorant, arrogant college kid. You should go work at a Wendy’s. But that’s Lifehacker, a web-shite.

I agree the free market can not exist in the current situation, simply due to over-regulation. Remove government overreach and guess what!? You have the free market as it was supposed to be!

Actually, no. In a true free market, individuals decide by choosing to or NOT to buy a product. If insurance companies offer only products (plans) that people don’t want or need, they’ll lose business and will have to modify their business model to appease the consumer. Just like any other industry specific market,…

Do you realize that the people who can’t afford this insurance aren’t paying into your pool? They’re not paying into any pool.

Yep, you. Too bad they couldn’t afford the insurance policy you want them to buy. Maybe if it wasn’t required to cover birth control, mammograms, and viagra the 22yo would have been able to afford it. But no, everyone’s got to have the same policy.

What YOU describe is communal funding of health care, which is fine if you like socialism, but that’s not insurance. Take a look at your car insurance policy.

You really are that stupid, aren’t you. This isn’t about telling babies to go die. This about ACTUALLY making health insurance affordable — as opposed the Obama version where you can’t afford the thing you’re required to buy.

I’m a young single man, and I’d appreciate it if you, a shithead, wouldn’t speak for all the young single men.

“The amendment would allow insurers to sell policies that don’t include maternity care, newborn care, ...”

First off, I don’t think you know the difference between Health Insurance & Health Care. Really, I don’t think you do.

I’m sorry, but how does this article fit into Lifehacker? I don’t remember Gina Trapani going on about LGBTQ issues. All this Politico-type stuff is getting irritating.
