2. 'Pre-existing conditions' would not be continued,

under rmoney/ryan. Problem is they lie.

They say they want to do away with 'Obamacare,' which requires coverage of pre-existing conditions, and they have no substitute bill, just b.s. Its really not reasonable to discuss this about what they will do; only thing that's pretty certain is they'd try to do away with Obamacare.

As to the 'mandate,' unfortunately the program can't work if people aren't required to obtain coverage if they are able to do so; this was the case in Massachusetts, where rmoney 'invented' Obamacare.

Self-sufficiency is fine, but as an easterner MAYBE she can understand that many/most people CAN'T handle healthcare on their own.
