CNN: “Looking at the states with the largest percentages of people under age 65 with pre-existing conditions, if the GOP’s high risk pool plan goes south it runs the risk of more adversely affecting those in states that voted for President Trump.”

“Of the 11 states in which 30% or more of the under-65 population has some sort of pre-existing condition, all 11 were won by Trump in 2016.”

1. We need to find a non-partisan way to inform these people what will happen if this becomes law

2. Everyone is affected...the way this bill is written people who get their health insurance though

work could be tossed into the high risk pool. it is a death sentence for those over 50 or younger who have pre-existing.

3. Basically the poor States, the ones the Federal government already pays the most for

because they refuse to actually raise taxes in their State or pay teachers or living wages.
