Of course. Deregulate the market that is responsible for keeping you alive ,but would rather let you die than cover a pre-existing condition. Super smart play. Classic JD.

Vance said that under Donald Trump’s plan, Americans wouldn’t be put “into the same risk pools.” In other words, healthier young people wouldn’t be in the same risk pool as older people more likely to need medical care, lowering costs for younger Americans.

If this statement is true to their plan there's a bigger implication that should worry more than 50% of Americans.

Americans wouldn’t be put “into the same risk pools.”

Men wouldn't be in the same risk pool as women. Guess which group has higher overall health insurance because one group has a much more complicated and functional reproductive system?

For those that don't remember life before the reforms put in place, men were charged a small fraction of health insurance premiums compared to women. I remember as a young man when I learned this by comparing my pay stub with a woman coworker that was the same age as me at the time. We were both in our early 20s. To reiterate; we were the same age, same employer, same insurance company, same plan, the only difference was gender.

I was paying $23 every two weeks. She was paying $110.

I was shocked and embarrassed. I fully supported the reforms that lead men and women to paying equal rates even though that meant I had to pay much more than I had in the past.

It's so crazy that anyone aside from the people who own insurance companies thinks things were better before the ACA. I had a friend who got bone cancer and had a leg amputated at 17. For that type of cancer, it's nine years before they consider you in full remission, so he was essentially uninsurable for nine years because of the pre-existing condition.

There were people who had insurance that covered almost nothing because that's all they could afford - the ACA got rid of plans that didn't actually provide a benefit.

Our healthcare system is really, really terrible, but it's so much better than before the ACA.

Something tells me Vance is more qualified for sofa covering than health coverage

“deregulating insurance markets, so that people can actually choose a plan that makes sense for them.”

The problem with the modern insurance market is Not Enough Crypto.

I'm getting pretty worried with my MS and it's super fucking expensive medication.

will it cover treatment for when a tech overlord decides to cut your hand on a whim?

I'm sure all those younger Americans won't care one bit when their parents and grandparents can't afford health insurance.

His orangeness isn't even

He did say it was a concept of a plan didn't he?
