This Will Be The Republican Healh Care Plan If The ACA Is Struck Down [View all]

The Republicans, and the health insurance industry, will contrive of a way to sell healh insurance policies across state lines, and those policies WILL NOT be regulated by any federal, state, local, or whatever regulator.

And then this is what will happen, a unscrupulous health insurer will set up shop in the most unregulated state. They will issue policies wherein they can cancel at any time for any reason. So, as soon as you make a claim, they can cancel your policy, and not pay a dime on your claim, even though you've paid a premium to them for years. Even more, they won't be obligated to even give you a reason.

Now, you may ask, why would people buy such a policy? The people may not, but their employers will. These policies will be cheaper than the standard policies, and the Republicans will be able to claim that they solved the health care problem.

That is until it all comes crashing down like the deregulated financial industry.
