No. It repeals one of the more annoying and least liked parts of the measure. Now people can truly go without insurance until they get sick, and then purchase insurance to “pay” for their illness, since they did not change the requirement that all pre-conditions must be covered.
But I would not be surprised if President Trump actually believes this “repeals Obamacare”. He never seemed that upset about any of the ACA except that it forced people to buy insurance.
Next, he’s going to get Long Fence to put up a mile of chain-link and say he “sealed the borders” :)
OK, a question - is it REALLY possible to drop Obamacare now and pick it up when one is sick? I had cancer last year and dont want to play with fire, but my premiums with two kids is over 3k a month (only one provider in my area).
I dont mind paying out of pocket for small stuff but want to be covered if things get bad, and I want to do it legally. I thought that the time to get 2018 insurance closed on 2017-12-15.
Appreciate any thoughts!
