In February 2017, Congressional Republicans issued a proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The proposed plan would use tax credits to finance individual insurance purchases and cut federal payments to states which have been used to expand Medicaid. Conservatives who oppose the ACA argue that the plan did not go far enough in removing the government’s role in health insurance. They demanded that the new plan should remove the ACA requirement that health insurers could not discriminate against individuals with pre-existing conditions. Under the ACA health insurers cannot deny cove…

Yes, insuring people with pre-existing conditions drives up costs for everyone,But I do agree to give coverage to those who truly need it
@586F5M32yrs2Y
Yes, however the government should deregulate the industry to allow fair market competition
@8ZY2RKD2yrs2Y
Yes, insuring people with pre-existing conditions drives up costs for everyone,But I do agree to give coverage to those who truly need it .And that it’s immoral if you don’t give help at all.And it should be very illegal to not help someone who has their life in a critical line or a life or death situation.Which goes against my religious values making it very immoral as well.

@Chivalknight22yrs2Y
Yes, but only if the pre-existing condition is not determined by lifestyle choices.
@7H4YNFJ2yrs2Y
No, but allow a capped percentage based premium depending on the pre-existing condition.
@93DSRN92yrs2Y
Yes, but switch to a single-payer system and eliminate the issue.
@9344LDW2yrs2Y
Yes, but only when the individual is at fault for the condition
@92MNDFW2yrs2Y
No they should not deny unless it is something that is already almost cured.
@michaelconnely2yrs2Y
Our medical and drug industry is corrupt and needs completely reformed.
@8ZRVN7J2yrs2Y
No. It's immoral, but they shouldn't be compelled to enter into a relationship where they will lose money.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, have a mix of private and public, along with government step-in to stop price gouging.
@8ZMLD8W2yrs2Y
only up to a certain extent
@85QWNPG2yrs2Y
No, and if private insurance doesn't want to cover them then they should be provided with nationalized healthcare that will take care of anything wrong.
@6VFYRRC2yrs2Y
No, health insurers should not be allowed to deny coverage.
@8Z2RQPS2yrs2Y
We need to allow insurance companies to see across state lines thereby bringing down prices. We should also require each insurance company to insure a certain percentage of those with pre-existing conditions which means that those with pre-existing conditions get insured without overburdening and one insurance company.
@8YCX2XC2yrs2Y
Yes, but only private insurers.
@8Y2TFS52yrs2Y
No, but if the government regulates this they should provide subsidies to help insurance companies lower risks that they are required by the government to take.
@8XTW3QC2yrs2Y
No, it is discriminatory to deny those with preexisting health conditions.
@658YHVJ3yrs3Y
Folks with pre-existing conditions should pay more
@8VC7WDN3yrs3Y
No, but work with health care companies to ensure they have the resources needed to keep pre-existing conditions covered.
@77HLCHH3yrs3Y
No, and abolish private for profit insurance companies
@lucasnat0r3yrs3Y
Yes but provide help for those with pre existing conditions
@8T7ZVTD3yrs3Y
No, but they should be allowed to charge them more for coverage
@8P9ZTNM3yrs3Y
No and furthermore the government should get out of health care.
@8SXTL4C3yrs3Y
Depends whether or not they have paid for that pre-existing conditions.
@77QDMZN3yrs3Y
Yes but the conditions need to be reasonable ie cancer, smoking, hard drug use etc. However, promote health insurers to establish more expensive coverage for those with such pre-existing conditions.
@8QMMB5M3yrs3Y
No. In addition to it being immoral, it makes no financial sense, especially when health assistance can't go to customers that use it.
@8R2RMP33yrs3Y
Yes, but only private health insurers should be allowed to do so.
@8S6KYHK3yrs3Y
Yes, Treat them like anybody else
@8RM3NHC3yrs3Y
no, and switch to a single-payer system
@4VXDGTF3yrs3Y
No, but they should be allowed to offer it at a higher cost.
@6HQ4HQ53yrs3Y
It should depends on what pre-existing condition we are talking about. Something a person is born with is very different from a conviction the person got later on in life.
@8QMMB5M3yrs3Y
No. In addition to it being immoral, it makes no financial sense, especially when health assistance can't go to those that need it most.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but rejected people should be allowed to use Medicaid until they can find another insurer.
@8QYZ4SB3yrs3Y
Yes, depending upon the cause of the condition.
@8QDZ34H3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they are not discriminating based on race, or any other demographic.
@2SMRMNR3yrs3Y
There should be some kind of rider that eventually allows for coverage.
@8PXJBZS3yrs3Y
No - but if the insurers are not allowed to deny coverage for pre-existing conditions in a market economy they should be allowed to charge appropriately based on the existing condition.
@TogetherinSoli13yrs3Y
No, and the only health insurance should be a single-payer system
@8PHSP7Y3yrs3Y
Yes, the government should not force them to do anything
@8PD6ZCL3yrs3Y
No. However, if the pre-existing conditions will lead to certain death or lack of ability to pay back insurance premiums, then it should be denied.
@7W3SBDC3yrs3Y
ACA insurance yes, but private insurances who do not want to partake in the ACA, yes if they want to.
@8NXSCW23yrs3Y
Yes, after America would privatize health insurance for the free market, which would lower the cost of premiums and allow Americans to afford to be responsible enough to afford health insurance at 18, this lowering the cost of premiums and keeping generally healthy.
@8F8YSKT3yrs3Y
No, but also there shouldnt be medical insurance, only a single payer program.
@8KRN6JB3yrs3Y
It's a very hard call to make. The economic issue and the moral issue relative to this problem are very controversial and important.
@8L28NK44yrs4Y
As long as there is enough competition to give a fair price
@6Y3DLPH4yrs4Y
No, but there should be a fair reason in place. If the pre-existing condition is uncontrollable (ie cancer, bone loss, autoimmune diseases, etc), then that shouldn't be a cause to deny coverage. If it is controllable (effects of smoking, drinking, drug over usage, etc) then that should be allowed denial of coverage.
@6HG4XSS4yrs4Y
Yes but the conditions need to be reasonable. ie cancer, smoking, hard drug use, etc
