In reply to the discussion: Millions at risk of losing health insurance after Trump's victory [View all]Scully
(82 posts)32. How quickly people forgot...
.... that this isn't just about losing an ACA plan, but losing the protections that ACA granted to employer-sponsored plans.
Many, many people are going to have a rude awakening when the pre-existing condition exclusions come back, and people will no longer be able to get their conditions covered by insurance even if they still have access to coverage. Or when the lifetime limits caps come back, and insurance is able to say, sorry- you cost us too much, we don't have to pay your claims any longer through your employer sponsored plan.
But hey- cheap eggs!

That is part of the learning process, and that elections have consequences. By the time some realize it, it may be too
