- Guaranteed affordable health care ( such as the public option or lowering the Medicare age limit that would offer price protection through competition)
- Legislation protecting the insurance customer from being dropped from their insurance
- Legislation protecting the insurance customer from arbitrary financial lifetime limits
- Legislation protecting the insurance customer from Government interference in their insurance plan (limiting what the private insurance companies cover, such as abortion)
Let's look at it another way. The Republican Senators, and Joe Lieberman voted for:
- Forcing 30 million more Americans onto the private health insurance plans without any price protections
- Allowing insurance companies to continue to defraud customers into paying premiums when there is no intention to actually pay for their health care
- Allowing insurance companies to declare any financial limits as to coverage that they choose
- Limiting the type of coverage that private insurance companies can offer (preventing them from paying for legal procedures such as abortion).
Every single Republican Senator voted for the above abuses of the American people. Luckily for us, they lost the vote!
