The Repug healthcare Bill

Given all the complaints about the Supreme Corp eliminating the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with its preexisting conditions coverage, Tillis has come up with a Bill hiding behind a mirage of a name: The Protect Act. What they don't tell you is exactly who the Bill protects: Health insurance companies. Yes, they are making great hay over the fact that it will keep preexisting condition coverage, but it strips many other ACA protections as to make it almost moot. Insurance companies: will once again be able to impose annual and lifetime caps on payments; can sell plans with no limits on out-of-pocket expenses; can charge higher premiums based on non-health factors like age, sex, occupation and lifestyle; restrict coverage for certain medications. Also gone is coverage for essential benefits and subsidies for the needy. Don't fall for their bait and switch.
