Wow....if these idiots think THAT's gonna fly, they learned nothing from their first failed attempt. Didn't they listen at their town meetings??
Going from bad to worse. From DUMB to DUMBER.
Revived GOP health care talks could hurt those with pre-existing conditions - NBC-2.com WBBH News for Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Naples, Florida
Quote:
The proposal under discussion among conservative House Freedom Caucus members and the White House would allow states to opt out of two key Affordable Care Act provisions: essential health benefits, which require insurers to cover certain services, and community rating, which bars carriers from charging consumers based on their medical history or gender.
Eliminating these federal requirements could greatly erode the safeguards Obamacare put in place for those with pre-existing conditions, violating President Trump and Republicans' repeated promises to protect these folks. It would leave many enrollees -- particularly sicker ones -- on the financial hook for much more of their care.
Also, it would allow insurers to effectively cherry-pick the people they want to cover.
