Senate Republicans are hoping to blunt any political advantage Democrats may have on health care by proposing that pre-existing conditions be protected

WASHINGTON—A group of Senate Republicans is reviving legislation aimed at guaranteeing protections for people with pre-existing conditions, as the GOP attempts to blunt the political advantage Democrats may have on health care before the 2020 election.

The bill, which Sen. Thom Tillis and roughly a dozen other Senate Republicans plan to introduce Wednesday, would preserve key provisions of the Affordable Care Act, which the Trump administration has moved to strike down in court.

My, how comprehensive for the 10's of millions that can't afford healthcare!

A simple bill to protect pre-existing conditions and allow shopping for health insurance across state lines could have been passed in place of the ACA years ago. But, nooo, Dems had to have their wet dream of govt controlled insurance instead.

Everyone has a preexisting condition, you just don’t know it yet. Stupid to think otherwise

Won’t work! They’re lying

IF TOM TILLIS has anything to do with this POLITICAL 'DIRTY TRICK' it's a LIE---and CROOKED!!!

That's good

Dems Hav no healthcare plan ! They r proposing Medicare for all which is nothing but single payer healthcare financed by tax payers ! If Obamacare was so good why isn’t even one dem prez candidate running on it ?

As they continue to take it to court?

So they will probably gut the caps. Shell game.

They’re not “proposing” it. They’ve always supported it. That’s another FakeNews smear allowed to run unchecked

The devil is in the details, heck i see them forcing insurance companies to offer insurance to folks with preexisting conditions at adjusted market rates. Making it technically true, but true like a dealership letting me buy a Ferrari at 10k a month.

Trump’s health care brain trust says no thanksAlthough the president walked back his promise for an Obamacare replacement ahead of 2020, lawmakers can neither escape the issue or muster a strong response. . The new Republican healthcare plan is designed to dump a mass amount of people with the stroke of a pen. We call it TrumpDumpCare because it is the true dumper. Dumping people into the grave thousands at a time. Yes it certainly will be part of the debate.
