An analysis from the Kaiser Family Foundation says that premiums for those ObamaCare-compliant plans would "skyrocket," impacting about 1.5 million people with pre-existing conditions who will also become ineligible for subsidies under the bill.

"The ACA-compliant plans would effectively become a high-risk pool, attracting enrollees when they need costly health benefits — such as maternity care, or drugs to treat cancer or HIV, or therapies to treat mental health and substance abuse disorders — and those with pre-existing conditions who are turned down by non-compliant plans or charged high premiums based on their health,"
