In February 2017, Congressional Republicans issued a proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The proposed plan would use tax credits to finance individual insurance purchases and cut federal payments to states which have been used to expand Medicaid. Conservatives who oppose the ACA argue that the plan did not go far enough in removing the government’s role in health insurance.

Yes, insuring people with pre-existing conditions drives up costs for everyone,But I do agree to give coverage to those who truly need it

@4VXDGTF4yrs4Y
No, but they should be allowed to offer it at a higher cost.
@8R2RMP34yrs4Y
Yes, but only private health insurers should be allowed to do so.
@michaelconnely3yrs3Y
Our medical and drug industry is corrupt and needs completely reformed.
@658YHVJ3yrs3Y
Folks with pre-existing conditions should pay more
@6HQ4HQ54yrs4Y
It should depends on what pre-existing condition we are talking about. Something a person is born with is very different from a conviction the person got later on in life.
@6Y3DLPH4yrs4Y
No, but there should be a fair reason in place. If the pre-existing condition is uncontrollable (ie cancer, bone loss, autoimmune diseases, etc), then that shouldn't be a cause to deny coverage.

Yes but the conditions need to be reasonable ie cancer, smoking, hard drug use etc. However, promote health insurers to establish more expensive coverage for those with such pre-existing conditions.
@8CNT65N4yrs4Y
Yes, depending on the pre-existing condition.
@8G68CSZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but they should be required to add a buy up to include pre-existing conditions
@8KRN6JB4yrs4Y
It's a very hard call to make. The economic issue and the moral issue relative to this problem are very controversial and important.
@8ZRVN7J3yrs3Y
No. It's immoral, but they shouldn't be compelled to enter into a relationship where they will lose money.
