McConnell: 'Everybody' in Senate likes pre-existing condition safeguards

[Free Vulcan]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said “everybody” in the Senate wants to preserve consumer protections for people with pre-existing conditions, an Obamacare provision that the Trump administration last week said is unconstitutional and should be struck down in court.

“Everybody I know in the Senate — everybody — is in favor of maintaining coverage for pre-existing conditions,” McConnell told reporters in the Capitol. “There is no difference in opinion about that whatsoever.”

Coverage for pre-existing conditions should be subject to the continuous insurance requirement, 90 to 180 day waiting period, and/or increased premiums that were applied to insurance policies prior to Obamacare.

Minor thread hijack based on your post-
Me to my four-year-old daughter at the beginning of Mass Sunday: Kneel down and pray for daddy to have a safe day at work. (Hubby is a professional firefighter.)
Daughter: I’m gonna pray for a unicorn!

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread postings.

Right.

Before obama/care. I was looking at setting up a company based health care plan(real small company...3-4 people).

Anyways, I had pretty much decided to join the Chamber of Commerce(although I detests the politics..open borders). It would have cost me $150.00 a year, then I would have access to a plethora of plans.

Everyone covered pre-existing after 120 days if you lapsed coverage. If you switched from one covered plan... no laps in coverage for pre-existing.

BCBS is what I had decided on. 1 million total, $4000.00 deductible, see whomever you want. Point of service. I had three to cover, myself at 49... $250.00 a month, my Son 19... $240.00, His wife 20... 270.00. So really great plan, pre obama,  $750.00 a month for three..... add as many kids as they would have... another $250.00 a month. This included maternity/prenatal care.

And it covered pre-existing.

I hate liberals/obama/marxist... as I still do not have any health coverage.

Looking forward to President Trump..... and some real coverage policies.
