Analysis: Republicans want to look like pioneers on preexisting conditions protections

about how states are continuing to introduce and pass their own “heartbeat bills,” even as lower courts have ruled them unconstitutional and as the Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal.

members of the ultra-Orthodox Satmar sect known for their strict religious and cultural traditions, our Post colleagues“[T]he refusal of some parents to vaccinate their children — a decision not based on any religious proscription — and a resulting measles outbreak have brought public health authorities to their doorsteps in a collision of cultures that could turn messy,” they write.

The disclosures also revealed Purdue employees were aware as early as 1999 just how much patients were abusing OxyContin, and also knew and shared internal emails about the methods used to abuse the drug. “One of the things you said: ‘We’re really quiet’ or ‘It seems like we’re quiet.’ Um, we’ve done a lot more than you would think,” chief executive Steve Nelson said in response to a question about the company’s efforts in the Medicare-for-all debate, according to a video of his remarksour Post colleague Jeff Stein.

The letter refers to reports about PBM profits related to such practices in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. “Given the potential vulnerabilities created as a result of opaque drug pricing practices employed by entities like PBMs, we believe additional transparency and oversight in this space is warranted,” they write.

Think you would have had your head in the sand or very dense to think that was true.

And for those whose pre-existing condition is short term memory loss, then the Republicans can brag all they want about being the wonderful pioneers they claim to be . Maybe Ten Second Tom could be made to believe them too.

As long as it is done who cares

Look 👀 Like ...But Really Republican’s Can Careless About Healthcare !

Trump personally approved the lawsuit to strike down pre-existing protections. Republicans are lying again.

Pioneers on how to screw people with pre-existing conditions. There fixed it for you

Wait, this admin is trying to kill ACA w/ no replacement in sight but they are protecting what, exactly?

And I would like to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Key phrase here: want to LOOK LIKE. Not want to PROTECT. This is the infection of Trumpism--all image, NO substance and in fact opposite action. Pay Attention To The Acts, NOT the Words.

Republican sponsors of this bill to protect mandated insurance coverage of preexisting conditions, something already provided by the ACA, may want a backstop in case the ACA attack in the courts succeeds or, more likely, to put Dems on the record “Voting Against Your Coverage.”

'And we won't offer any critical analysis of any sort - we're just stenographers!'

Point is?

Almost as much as the WashingtonPost wants to look like a legitimate newspaper! 🤣 One day closer.

Mwah haw haw haw haw! Ah, hell. Mwah haw haw haw haw!

LOL

And they will. The fairy plan these Democratic/Socialist are pitching is only striking out their own base. Thus pushing more and more liberals to vote for something real,something thats already working. As long as we have these fools in the DNC, 2020 is all Trump. blacksfortrump

lies and more lies

“If you watch only MSNBC and CNN and read only The Washington Post and New York Times, you have no idea what’s going on in the real world.” - Rush Limbaugh

They are. In getting rid of the protections

Any news on Amazon spying?

We read the Republican-backed health care bill of 2017 and it stripped coverage of pre-existing conditions. So many Republican DailyClout users tweeted the BillCam of the bill to the sponsors, pointing this out, they backed away from it in public.

Good lord, do they want credit for the sun rising each day too?

Zzzzzzx

They aren’t going to fool anyone. OK - maybe they will fool the Trumptards!

Health care will be hot 2020 election topic, and Republican states have highest rates of pre-existing conditionsRed states have highest percentages of residents with pre-existing conditions. Also the highest rates of willful ignorance and cruelty. Forget Medicare for all...FIX THE ACA! Run on your fixing the ACA. Social Security was not perfect upon introduction, neither was Medicare. The ACA was a start...so, take what you have and work on it. No it wont. SCOTUS has same make up. Robert's was swing vote. He wont change his vote this time round. A liiberal rag once again trying to sow division.
