re: #324 Old Liberal

The GOP has repeatedly shown that it doesn’t care about people.

How do we know this? Because their repeated efforts to destroy Obamacare include absolutely nothing to replace it. They want to see it obliterated, even the preexisting conditions provisions.

They never cared about a replacement (going back years, it was always vaporware, and the replacements never even began to consider the preexisting conditions provisions).

So, the only conclusion that can be reached is that the GOP is fine with 25% of all Americans paying far more for health coverage because of preexisting conditions - and that means everyone will know someone who will be forced to pay more because of the GOP efforts if they aren’t personally affected.

Everyone knows someone dealing with cancer, diabetes, obesity, addictions, asthma, mental health issues, etc., which means that an insurer would be able to charge those people far more for health coverage than under the current law.

Who benefits? The people who are generally healthy. Young adults. Everyone else would see higher costs.
