Both men stressed that on health care, repeal and replace would remain the
GOP message into the fall elections. However, both also acknowledged that
they would like to retain some aspects of the Democrats plan, such as
coverage of pre-existing conditions.
<snip>
If you somehow tell companies they can no longer deny coverage of
pre-existing conditions, you need to provide them another way to eliminate
free riders. Under the new law, individual mandates are that tool. As long
as everyone is required to have coverage, nobody can game the system and
theres no longer any justification to deny coverage based on pre-existing
conditions.
So if the GOP plan is going to ensure that pre-existing conditions are
covered, as Chambliss and McConnell suggested, how would they do it
without individual mandates? What mechanism would they use?
Chambliss and McConnell had no answer. Literally.
After Chambliss fumbled an initial response, McConnell broke in with a
long and familiar condemnation of the Democratic plan, including its
failure to include tort reform. After a few minutes, I interrupted and
brought him back to the question: OK, but how are the Republicans going to
cover pre-existing conditions?
The premiums are going up either way, he said.
OK, I responded, a little stunned. That doesnt explain how the Republicans
intend to cover pre-existing conditions.
The premiums are going up either way, he repeated.
