Vulnerable Senate Republicans, led by North Carolina’s Thom Tillis, are trying – again – to cover-up their damaging health care records… and their latest legislative stunt is – again – being called out as a fraud.
The Los Angeles Times editorial board weighed in today with a scathing review:
And the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation’s Larry Levitt summed up the serious problems with the Senate GOP’s latest stunt on pre-existing conditions:
Unlike the ACA, the new Republican pre-existing condition bill would not disallow lifetime or annual limits, cap patient out-of-pocket costs, require coverage of essential benefits, prohibit gender rating, or provide subsidies to make premiums more affordable.

This is yet another sham GOP bill claiming to protect people with pre-existing conditions that fails to address the Trump administration’s dangerous lawsuit and doesn’t maintain the health care protections that exist under current federal law.
