Republicans would have states set up "high-risk pools" for those with pre-existing conditions. There is no Congressional Budget Office score of the proposal yet, but the AARP has projected that premiums in high-risk pools could cost as much as $25,700 per year.
.
In an interview on "Meet the Press," Vice President Mike Pence also vowed that the Trump administration is "keeping our promises to protect people who have pre-existing conditions."

Pence explained how states could change coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.
"You take people that have pre-existing and costly conditions and put them into a high-risk pool," Pence said to NBC's Chuck Todd. "And you subsidize that so that it is affordable to those individuals.

So... $27,000 x 12 mox = $324,000

Meaning having cancer will raise your income to well over $324,000 so the insurance will be AFFORDABLE!!!
