All I know is under the old system put in place by Bush I couldn't get the insurance I needed because of pre-existing conditions. Back then I couldn't find a job that fit my degree and the part time job I took on only offered 3 doctor visits a year for their insurance. AHCA gets passed and now I have quality insurance again, granted it's expensive at $400 a month with COBRA but certainly cheaper then having nothing.

Now part of me trust Romney to get this right because as Romney has said, as long as you continue getting some type of coverage companies won't be able to turn you down.

Still not sure though that deregulation (state lines)/regulation (preexisting conditions) will fix the problem. Sometimes deregulation works extremely well as seen with the airlines and other times its a disaster as seen with energy and Savings and loans.

Plus I all but expect plenty on insurance companies to abuse deregulation under the GOP.
I don't think Bush passed any real Health Ins legislation. I'm talking more about the mandates they push on us and force be to buy.They deregulated the phone companies and my office phone bill has dropped from around $500 per month to around $240 per month and thats with internet.

Whats VoIP? I looked it up and we do have one phone that uses the internet. Its used by a telemarketer who works from home and I'm not sold on that as of right now. It might be the provider but the quality is not as good as the land lines. It also seems to have more problems then regular land lines but it will probably get better. It should also drive down the price even more for land lines. At one time not so long ago I was paying $110 per each line coming into the office and now it runs less then $50 per line.

Your bill has dropped not because of deregulation, but because legacy phone service is all but done for. It's hanging on it's last thread. VoIP is the wave of the future. (wired and wireless)

The very day deregulation started in Va I switched my phone service from Verizon which had been my only choice to COX which dropped my bill in half. That was 10 yrs ago but what do I know.

Essentially, because religious groups refuse to sign on.

I say, fine, if you want to have religious beliefs that preclude you from offering such services simply wheel out your deity, have him/her/it answer a few questions and we'll sign off on your right to refuse to offer such.
