      So now the amended bill would still do all that but also let states opt out of pre-ex protections and basic benefit standards.

          The GOP is pushing a bill that, as @eosnos put it, “no one would ever propose as a sane solution to the problems w Obamacare.”

          The #AHCA makes every measure of US health and health care worse by shifting ~$1 trillion from bottom 40% to top 2%. It is unconscionable.

          not a part of the bill I love however, you fail to mention in this case, the particular state would then have to offer a high risk pool plan

          Good. Then voters in each state that does so can protest at the ballot box. Suspect they won't since it's all Dem BS.

          We're calling our congressmen in GA and they are dismissing this, saying no state will take the waiver. Counter?
