Impeding changes to our Health Care system

Nothing in the proposed plans on the table would prevent an insurance company from doing this in the future.

And I have said repeatedly that you should actually read the text of the legislation (that I cited on numerous occasions) and not just opposition talking points and you would find that your assertions are in fact, incorrect.

And what the Republican proposal would have allowed is for the insurance companies to shop around for the least regulated state, including American Samoa, and apply those lowest standards across the board for consumers in any state in which the company has nexus.

But at this point, it really doesnt matter.

Have a healthy and truthful day!
