Arkansas Republicans in the US House vote against protecting coverage of pre-existing conditions

The U.S. House yesterday approved legislation meant to protect the Obamacare requirement that health insurers cover pre-existing conditions. All four Republicans from Arkansas voted against the measure.


Think Progress explains and makes the point that many of the 183 Republicans who opposed the bill — U.S. Rep. French Hill of Little Rock is an example — had talked during 2018 about preserving pre-existing condition coverage.

The protection bill isn’t likely to pass the Republican-controlled Senate.

The point is made, however. Talk is cheap. Votes and policy have meaning.
