Insurance company turns you away: Evil...

Govt Healthcare turns you away.. .that's okay?
(Crumpet served from The Hill)

The Obama administration has not ruled out turning sick people away from an insurance program created by the new healthcare law to provide coverage for the uninsured.
Hold up?  I thought that was one of the big "promises" of the Healthcare program?   You cannot be turned down even if you're a high-risk candidate?   Anyone else remember those comments?

Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool program insist it will run out of money before Jan. 1, 2014. That’s when the program sunsets and health plans can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.
Oh shit.. dont' tell the govt, cause they're just gonna add more money to it...

Administration officials insist they can make changes to the program to ensure it lasts until 2014, and that it may not have to turn away sick people. Officials said the administration could also consider reducing benefits under the program, or redistributing funds between state pools. But they acknowledged turning some people away was also a possibility.
Damn, they're already planning it!  Even before I got the comment out!
