Thanks to repugs, of course

From the article:

"If you are a cancer patient and have cancer now, you can't wait six months to go into a plan because your condition can go from bad to death," said Stephen Finan, a policy expert with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. He called the waiting period in the SENATE BILL "unacceptable."

"But the House health care bill unveiled last week by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., doesn't include a waiting period. Instead, it would require insurance plans who "dump" seriously ill patients to repay the federal pool. "The House provision will provide immediate relief for people with high-risk conditions who have no alternative for coverage," said Finan."

Yep, the repugs strike again. Fact is, democrats usually write/vote on excellent bills, to HELP people, then the repugs step in and take those parts out. Remember that when you go to the voting booth.
