The combination of Medicare running out of money and older and sicker people being unable to get health coverage should make a great Republican platform for them to run on.

Okay this really lays it out. Apparently Trump also doesn't want older people paying less. They want to take that away too.

"In particular, the administration is arguing that the ACA’s ban on discrimination based on pre-existing conditions and limits on charging older patients higher premiums are invalid, and they are requesting that the court put a halt to those provisions in January of 2019, when enforcement of the individual mandate is set to be terminated.

What is amazing to me is, Republicans will be cheering and patting themselves on the bag for taking coverage away from older and sicker people. They will applaud that older and sicker people lose their health coverage.

It's over baby! The Obama free-lunch food trucks broke down.

Have a pre-existing illness?----rates will reflect it. It's just math.

And when treatment is completely unaffordable, go die? That's the Republican's plan? Please go die?

Further, Republicans are going to court demanding to charge older people higher costs.

Just the same as the (D)'s did when Obama gave health care away to the insurance and pharmaceutical companies.

That noted, the courts are not going to over turn a law they had already ruled constitutional just because the (R)'s removed some of the funding sources.

People with pre-existing conditions will be covered separately. This isn't new. More Loony hysteria.

How? Show where people with pre-existing conditions will be covered. And show how charging older people more for health coverage will help them. Show it.
