Health Care Coverage Eroded

[Matata]

No coverage for contraceptives or pre-existing conditions. Pregnancy is considered a pre-existing condition. Republicans run amok.

Correction: This story originally suggested that some of these changes had already gone into effect. That is not the case.


Did you read this notation at the bottom of the article. It still has to go through further channels, so hopefully there will compromise.

I thought Obama said he was not going to do away with covering your children until the age of 26 or preexisting conditions, so time will tell.

And yes, eliminating contraceptives could also be a problem for those like one of my girls who uses the pill to control PCOS.

Obama?

They are already saying that they won't be protecting preexisting conditions. It is one of the things that make the premiums for Obamacare so expensive.

I am old and I make mistakes.

I meant Trump.

Then if what you are saying is true that preexisting conditions will not be covered, then Trump lied.

Believe me I said give him a chance. If he blows it, I will be standing there right next to you with a pitch fork in my hand.

Who here is saying that?

Do you think that those who voted for him feel that way.And to be clear, I did not vote for President.

But if things continued under ObamaCare, the middle class would be having trouble affording their premiums.

My husband's and my policy cost was going up and I was paying more out of pocket than ever.

I was putting off visits I needed to control my preexisting conditions.

So the middle class were being F'd.

Not all of us here have a lot of money and can afford to absorb these costs. It is not that we do not care. It is merely we can only stretch a buck so far.

Ruby, a question? what do you think Trump and the republicans will do for your healthcare premiums and deductibles? Thank you for answering if you see this.

Actually I was reading this when I saw your response.

I have to get more familiar with the contents, but I wonder if some of this might be the answer.

Surprise, surprise Trump lied. If you think the republicans are going to look out for you I'm afraid you will be sadly mistaken. I hope I am wrong. My parents are very worried what all this will mean for their healthcare. I feel terrible for anyone who has a preexixting condition. It's scary.

Republicans voted down the promise to keep kids on insurance until the age of 26.

If I am reading this correctly, they are not getting rid of coverage for preexisting conditions, as Trump promised.

Believe me I said give him a chance. If he blows it, I will be standing there right next to you with a pitch fork in my hand.

According to above that is not accurate. Trump very much wants to keep it as do many Republicans.
So when ObamaCare is repealed it does not mean that this and coverage for preexisting conditions won't be reinstated.

Ok. We will see.

It seems very strange to me that democrats would argue tooth and nail last night to keep these features if this was "just a matter of procedure."
