YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRepublicans are chomping at the bit to reinstate screwing people with preexisting conditions. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Now Republicans are trying to bring back Obamacare repeal. And the emerging deal would make a mockery of those promises ― by forcing people with medical problems to pay more for their health care, and in many cases leaving them unable to get insurance at all.
It would be a breach of faith, but also a revealing window into what Republicans who support this measure think the world should look like.
The whole point of health insurance is to protect people from financial ruin just because they happen to be injured or sick. Living with diabetes, battling cancer, recovering from serious injury ― these things are hard enough without having to worry that paying the medical bills will drive you into bankruptcy.
The Affordable Care Act was an effort, however imperfect and incomplete, to protect people from those problems. This Republican proposal would expose them all over again.”*
