Pre-existing conditions? Will people still get free preventive care? Cover your kids til age 26? How will it affect employer based insurance, if you’re lucky enough to have that?
Just extended the subsidies and be done with it, FFS. I think some of these new hare-brained ideas come from trump and his party absolutely refusing to compromise. After all this is the party that once declared “bipartisanship is date rape.”
