Vance revives old GOP fights on ObamaCare insurance coverage

Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Sunday floated an idea that would turn back the clock on covering people with preexisting conditions, relitigating a position that was a hallmark of GOP proposals to replace ObamaCare during Donald Trump’s presidency.

In an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Vance said Trump’s health plan would “promote choice” in the health system by separating sicker people into different health insurance coverage pools from the healthier populations.

Vance said Trump’s health plan would focus on deregulating the insurance markets to “not have a one-size-fits-all approach that puts a lot of people into the same insurance pools, into the same risk pools” while also making sure that people have access to the doctors and care that they need.

Vance’s comments come after Trump said on the debate stage last week that he had “concepts of a plan” to replace the health law if it were repealed.

1. GOP has tried to force this for years. it's completely

Absurd and horrible. It would make insurance for people with medical issues impossible to afford.

2. When death is the only affordable "choice" for the sick and old under Trump/Vance plan...

... Republicans still call it "promoting choice."

7. He wants to go back to how it was before the ACA.

When people with chronic health problems were denied insurance and could only get insurance through expensive and inadequate "high risk pools."

I've got news for him: We're NOT GOING BACK!

8. Sounds like the health care plan Trump devised for his nephew

Trump's nephew had a disabled son. Trump advised the nephew to "let the kid die" then "move to Florida."

9. That was their preexisting plan, so the media should deny coverage.

10. High Risk Pools

The problem with putting Americans into high-risk pools is that the rates would be so high, that they could not afford it.

I would be one of those that would be put into high risk pools.

I am a lymphoma survivor and am on my third remission.
I am currently undergoing maintenance treatments that cost $1 million a year.
In 1990, I was first diagnosed with lymphoma.
I was on my second remission when ACA was passed and when Trump and GOP attempted its repeal.
It returned in 2019.
I went through 4 different treatments over 2 years and all failed.
Luckily, ACA forbids lifetime limits and the 5th treatment was successful.

Trump does not understand the complexities of cancer care in this country and why lifetime limits are nonsense.
One, sometimes you cannot choose your preferred treatment because insurance will not pay for it.
Two, you must try a different treatment first.
Three, if you are able to survive a failed treatment, there may be a promising treatment around the corner.

1, 2 & 3 happened to me.
On the fifth treatment, my insurer initially approved, rescinded, then was reversed on appeal. Their reasoning was that they wanted me to use a different treatment first.
I started my fifth treatment in 2021; FDA approved it for use in 2020.

I know sickness as it relates to my personal experience, but I couldn't imagine what you have been through.

I sincerely wish for your continued health and wellness.
