Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance has shared some details about the Trump-Vance campaign’s health care plan, and it appears to allow insurers to charge more for preexisting conditions.
Vance gave details on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, where he told Kristen Welker that Donald Trump’s plan involves “deregulating insurance markets, so that people can actually choose a plan that makes sense for them.”
This would appear to roll back some of the Affordable Care Act, which got rid of insurance companies’ ability to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions. Prior to President Obama’s legislation, it was difficult to get affordable health care coverage except through Medicare, Medicaid, or employer-based plans. While health care plans were available outside of that, insurers sought profits by weeding out people likely to require medical care.

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.
When an industry profits off of death and misery you NEED to regulate it. And because of libel and slander laws you can’t even call these companies out for the shit they do unless you have a lawyer to back it up.
