Yup, and its already illegal for companies to drop children. If the healthcare bill is repealed as the Republicns want it to, children will again be kicked off insurance.

That would depend on your STATE legislature because they are the ones to dictate policies that insurance companies must follow.

Have you heard about the state legislature? Do you know they exist?

Unless every single state legislature protects kids from being thrown off insurance (which is not going to happen), if the GOP gets what they want and repeals the healthcare bill, Insurance companies will start chucking sick kids off Insurance.

Listen you cant tell this person that. With this person all these problems started with and were caused by Obama. For this person once they can turn on the tv and see someone "who looks more like thier idea" of the potus all these problems will not exist anymore.
