"This Republican bill does nothing to require insurers to cover vital health care services. Bill essentially says if you have cancer, your insurance plan doesn't have to offer cancer care.

What kind of "pre-existing condition protection" is that?"

"Nothing in this GOP bill states that Republicans oppose the lawsuit to gut protections for pre-existing conditions.

If the lawsuit - which Rs don't oppose - is successful, the entire ACA would be struck down, including requirements that all plans cover Essential Health Benefits."

"The GOP-led lawsuit -- which, again, the Republicans don't oppose - would also strike down Medicaid expansion, tax credits and premium subsidies and more."

"This bill also doesn't change the Republican plan to expand "junk plans", which put insurance companies back in charge, allowing them to refuse to cover vital services like Rx drugs, maternity care, emergency room services & substance use disorders."

"Lastly, this bill also doesn't change fact that if the GOP lawsuit were successful, premiums would soar for millions of families, hundreds of millions of ppl would lose major pre-ex conditions protections, seniors' drug costs would go up & the individual markets would collapse."
