MacArthur Amendment to the American Health Care Act - 4/13/17
Insurance Market Provisions
The MacArthur Amendment would:
• Reinstate Essential Health Benefits as the federal standard
• Maintain the following provisions of the AHCA:
o Prohibition on denying coverage due to preexisting medical conditions
o Prohibition on discrimination based on gender
o Guaranteed issue of coverage to all applicants
o Guaranteed renewability of coverage
o Coverage of dependents on parents' plan up to age 26
o Community Rating Rules, except for limited waivers
Limited Waiver Option
The amendment would create an option for states to obtain Limited Waivers from certain federal standards, in the interest of lowering premium costs and expanding the number of insured persons.
States could seek Limited Waivers for:
• Essential Health Benefits
• Community rating rules, except for the following categories, which are not waivable:
o Gender
o Age (except for reductions of the 5:1 age ratio previously established)
o Health Status (unless the state has established a high risk pool or is participating in a
federal high risk pool)
Limited Waiver Requirements
States must attest that the purpose of their requested waiver is to reduce premium costs, increase the number of persons with healthcare coverage, or advance another benefit to the public interest in the state, including the guarantee of coverage for persons with pre-existing medical conditions. The Secretary shall approve applications within 90 days of determining that an application is complete.

If it's not Rand's plan or something similar, I hope it crashes and burns.
No full repeal, no deal.

Considering the opposition, pretty damn good unlike Obama who couldn't get Gitmo closed in eight years.

I wish they would move on to tax reform and come back to this later.

and BamaAtl still won't care about all of the people who have seen their premiums double (or more). Much like Democrats, since those people don't usually vote for them.

Better than Obama did for you, I would think.

what are the bullet points of his plan?

Aside from the state waivers, which I'm sure the Alabamas and Mississippis will gladly take advantage of, this sounds like Obamacare-lite.

He never responds to requests about it from NC_Tigah or 808bass, but the more sinister side is that his department at emory has seen their cash flow increase by large amounts because of the ACA. that translates into better job security for Mr. BamaAtl, higher incomes, and higher chances at bonuses.

Of course I do - I'd hope that Congress can address the 3% of the population that falls into this category without harming the other 97%. Unfortunately, Republicans in Congress don't seem to want that.

They need this for the tax reform they want to do. This frees up their spending to justify the tax cuts they want to do.

You would be wrong.

To be fair, Trump didn't know anything before he was elected. He listened to China about North Korea and had this to say "After listening for 10 minutes, I realized it’s not so easy". If only he had listened sooner, maybe he wouldn't have made so many empty promises. But it isn't his fault. He is just a reality TV star. It's really Hillary's fault. Had she not run, he wouldn't be president.

Ding ding ding.... Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner.

Your spiel that nobody is "harmed" when premiums rise for somebody on subsidies is wrong: the money is coming from somewhere, and that harms someone.
I'd hope that Congress can address the 3% of the population that falls into this category without harming the other 97%.
