If states are allowed to opt out of ACA required coverage - able to charge more for what we would call pre-existing conditions - plus $17,000 would be the possible cost to a 40-year-old woman for pregnancy under these conditional plans.

If that scares you - it should!

Historically, insurers have all kinds of euphemisms and impossibly confusing use of words for charging more or denying coverage.

Let's see - Democrats opposed to these changes in policy should "play fair" and "hold ourselves to a higher standard?"

Please.
