"Next, they promise to "give states the freedom and flexibility to create better, more competitive health insurance markets offering more options and different choices."

They want to allow high deductible policies that don't cover much. No prohibitions of limits, no coverage for pre-existing conditions, no prohibitions to insurance companies cancelling policies. No reproductive services for women. No prohibitions of different rates for women/men, place of residence, or race or creed. Forget it if you are gay...no wedding cakes either.

Just like 2009, before the ACA.
