removing “pre-existing conditions” is NON-CONTROVERSIAL.
Do NOT fight this.
The actuarial tables are ‘fixed’ in states with Pre-X exclusions.
Also, the largest voting blocs in the country benefit most from the removal of Pre-X conditions. Due to Americans getting older and being fatasses, in the coming decades over a third of the population will have pre-X conditions. Over half the households in the country will have Pre-X conditions.
Tyranny of the majority, you betcha, but ain’t no way around it unless you want to bankrupt a tens of thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands more households each year.
Income redistribution will continue until morale improves.

There ain’t no way around bankruptcy unless we allow the federal government to step in and change the entire healthcare insurance industry into yet another giant entitlement program? if that were the case, I might as well stop paying attention to politics, tune in, turn on, drop out, and stop worrying. Because in that case nothing I currently believe in would be worthwhile. The other side would have been right all along.
