Failure to cover preexisting conditions is going to bite the GOP if they don’t come up with some sort of an answer - it’s one of the few things most people liked about Obamacare - it was a scam, requiring young people who didn’t need much insurance to buy it at outrageous prices so their money could be used to cover the preexisting illness of others, but at least it was coverage - in most cases people can still get the coverage, but they pay much higher premiums since the youngsters aren’t being charged any longer - in making a big fuss about ending Obamacare the ‘pubs put themselves on the line for also eliminating preexisting coverage - there are ways to achieve the same ends - state subsidiaries, assigned risk pools and all - but the GOP had better start talking them up.....
It used to be called CHARITY. You freely gave to help those in need. It was voluntary, not forced. Then the left decided to force it.
Those with preexisting conditions and a lot of the healthy young people would just pay the penalty for not having the insurance; way cheaper than buying the insurance. Then they were covered by all of us.
Continuous coverage for preexisting conditions could be used to defray the premium increase. Lapses in coverage would increase the increase.
And I have a preexisting condition.
How did pre-existing conditions get covered prior to Obamacare?
The GOP hasn't been able to come up with a coherent replacement in the eight or nine years Obamacare has been around. You expect them to do that in two weeks?
President Trump has assured that preexisting conditions will be covered.
Trump wants to find a solution - on the flip side, there will be a lot of idiots pissed at him for doing so....they have their dreams and delusions which do not fit the reality of the current world.
