Why didn't Nitro just support H.R.676 when he had the chance? Why did he choose the private-market if he's now so upset with it?
Obviously, you didn't support it, either. Why not?
You asked why I didn't support H.R 676 and my answer is I had excellent health care that was more affordable than the bankrupt shit I have now. What reason would I have to support something when I didn't need it? I was covered through the OMIP program before your king fucked it up.
Oregon Medical Insurance Pool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Oregon Medical Insurance Pool (OMIP), instituted in 1987, is designed to provide medical insurance coverage for residents of the state of
Oregon with pre-existing conditions (i.e.
HIV/
AIDS, diabetes, etc.) who do not already have private insurance. OMIP is administered by Oregon's Office of Private Health Partnerships through
Blue Cross/Blue Shield. It functions similarly to other private insurance.

Impact of federal legislation[edit]
Due to the enactment of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as federal law in 2010, as of January 1, 2014, insurers will no longer be permitted to charge higher rates or discriminate against those individuals who have a pre-existing condition. This will effectively end the need for OMIP.
