This comment is scary

"and allow states to determine whether people could be excluded from insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions"

This would give California and other states more control over our lives than they already have!

Yes, and the nation saw how much better it became with ACA. If the new bill turns out worse than ACA for the American people, Obama wins and the left has long bragging rights over healthcare.

Ironically, the red-est states will have the most citizens negatively affected by the plans that bow deeply to the Insurance Lobby. That's why it became so complicated for them.
