Just when you think we're done dealing with and hearing about TrumpCare it pops back up again, only this time it's even worse, yes that's actually possible.
The House Freedom Caucus, which heavily opposed the initial TrumpCare proposal, now seems to approve of the new proposal that now includes the MacArthur Amendment. *Important note: just because this caucus now supports this terrible bill, it doesn't mean that it's automatically going to pass because not all Republicans are in support of it, so don't panic!** The MacArthur amendment will make it so that if states can create and fund high risk coverage pools, they can apply for limited waivers from the community rating provision of Obamacare, which requires insurance companies to cover those with pre existing conditions. Aka: the requirement that insurance companies charge healthy folks and seriously ill folks the same rates, would NO LONGER BE IN EXISTENCE. Also, insurance companies could be free from covering services like maternity care and could be allowed to charge the elderly trip the rates of younger people. Oh, and another thing, the Medicaid program would be cut for the poor. My thoughts about this bill remain the same as they've always been, this is a horrible bill that they're trying to pass, it would leave even more people uninsured now that people with pre existing won't be covered cause they won't be able to afford it. Trump and his blind legion of followers don't give a shit about the American people and their health. I don't foresee this passing and if it does any and all Americans that should succumb from losing their coverage will be on the hands of these jackasses. Fun facts:
