Here in the United States, we are in the process of holding an election that will elect a new President of the United States. The question is, who will it be? John McCain (R) or Barack Obama (D)?
Whether you are vocal about your politics or not, Democrat, Repbulican, or Independent, everyone has political opinions and issues that are important to them. For people with Celiac Disease, health insurance is probably something that you covet (such as defining pre-existing conditions).
In the opinion of the author of Gluten Free Blog, people with Celiac Disease should be voting for Barack Obama:
Where does that leave me with regards to Senators Obama and McCain? Clearly I have to favor Obama’s call for guaranteed health-insurance coverage for pre-existing condiditons. I do not EVER want to find myself in a situation where I think I am “covered” or othewise “insurable”, only to find out that instead I have been denied insurance or retroactively denied payment for services rendered, leaving me stuck with tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in bills.
Of course, this has become one of those divisive issues in America, though I do not understand why. We are the only major industrialized country to not offer national health care, and we are not even talking about that… we are just talking of mandating that insurance companies must take *anyone*, and such talk in the USA is enough to set off all sorts of argument in this country. Well, regardless, I would like to know I can always get coverage.
