^That as well.
He never provides how he'll address those with pre-existing conditions, no indication of any legislation, nothing.
It's crazy how he was going at Biden for not passing more in terms of justice reform, meanwhile the Republicans held the Senate.
Republicans held the House and Senate prior to 2018, Trump had 2 years to pass a health bill, he didn't, Biden missed an opportunity to hit him on that.
Obamacare was passed in 2010. The republicans have been railing against it for a decade now, yet even with Trump as president, they have not unveiled a single plan in terms of its replacement. To me that is utterly insane, you can't just be an obstructionist party, you must have some type of legislative agenda.
I work within the health industry, and one of the biggest misnomers I'm finding is people's complete lack of understanding of the direct relation between individual mandate and pre-existing condition clauses. One cannot have one without the other, and this is why Republican's argument on this is so disingenuous. You need the individual mandate in order to eliminate the pre-existing condition clause in order to make a policy solvent. Without that clause you run into anti-selection, and thus the insurer will simply increase the premium to a massive amount to accommodate the persons with pre-existing conditions.
It's basic actuarial science, but these Republicans know their idiot supporters don't even understand that basic fact, thus they know people will lose coverage, or be priced out accordingly.
