(58,785 posts)4. Well, they got greedy over gutting the ACA, so definitely antacid!
They're such ignorant and extremist idiots. They're not interested in governing so never learned how laws and governing work.
Ryan/McConnell/Pence/Trump found a way to give them what they asked for yesterday--killing the package of essential coverages and bringing back junk insurance, but that just emboldened them to demand gutting a HUGELY important section:
NY Times:
With some of its demands in place, the Freedom Caucus ratcheted up its requests, insisting on a repeal of all regulatory mandates in the Affordable Care Act, including the prohibition on excluding coverage for pre-existing medical conditions and lifetime coverage caps.
While they did not specify precisely which regulations they wanted to eliminate, the section they wanted to gut requires coverage for pre-existing health conditions, allows people to remain on their parents health care plans up to age 26, bars insurers from setting different rates for men and women, prohibits annual or lifetime limits on benefits, and requires insurers to spend at least 80 percent of premium revenue on medical care.
