House Majority Leader-designate Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said Monday that Republicans will not be seeking to completely scrap the healthcare reform law.
Cantor said there are certain elements of current law that will be included in the GOP plan, which he said will move simultaneously with a repeal measure through the House.
Provisions that Republicans will seek to retain include the barring of insurance companies from refusing coverage to patients with a pre-existing condition and allowing young people to stay on their parents' insurance plans until age 26.
Speaking to more than 100 students at a town hall event at American University in Washington. D.C., Cantor responded to a question from a young woman who suffered from a chronic health condition by telling her, "We want to keep the pre-existing condition clause."
Cantor also told the woman that under the GOP plan, she should be able stay either "on a parent's health insurance" or be offered "another, equally affordable solution.

You can't! If you did NOBODY would buy ins until they got sick!
But Laaaauuurrraaahhhh....
What a metro-male
No it doesn't. Not when the rest of us are footing the bill. My kid is self sufficient and would never dream of mooching off my insurance policy. He's a man and men don't do that. My employees with family coverage saw their premiums increase by about 30% this year because other people's 26 year old parasites are still suckling at the tit!
see post 50;
also saying Repubs probably took a poll to see what aspects of obamacare Repub voters wanted to keep.
This news is so bad on so many levels. Entire bill must be scrapped -— ALL OF IT!
The fascists need this bill.
That is not how it works.
The unisured people with a Pr-ex condition will still end up at the hospital. We still end up paying for their care through higher premiums because the hospitals have to bill private insurance more money to make up for the uninsured...or they get on state medicaid which we pay through higher taxes.
Also many people with pre -ex don't go to the hospital until the condition is out of control=big$$$$. It's cheaper to maintain the condition with medicine and regular visits to their doctor.
I would rather have them pay a premium and be on private insurance than no coverage. We end up paying for it anyway when they have no insurance.
What part of the constitutionally enumerated powers, delineated and limited government do these ingrates not understand?
The Feds have no authority to regulate healcare in any way shape or form and they need to stop doing it, right here and right now.
Cantor is a strategic dumbaszz.
A political Dieppe.
I see it as “if you are supporting them” and they are NOT self sufficient. If an offsprint has to file a tax return and is claiming themselves as a deduction then obviously it would not apply to them.
That said, I still would rather see the ENTIRE BILL repealed and this individual issues debated one by one.
I told you they would do this, as did some others on this ping list. They don't want to repeal anything that is popular.
Now, what happens if they repeal the personal mandate but leave these goodies in? Then Prices go up and more people become uninsured. So then what is plan B or part 2? The answer is that Obama has to get the blame for it or Republicans are doomed.
BTW : Following polls don't always lead to winning elections as voters will blame the leaders for the bad effects of policies that they (voters) supported in polls. Voters in mass always want free stuff where they don't understand the cost (consequences) to themselves.
No, Republicans have not changed for the better, just following the wind. Anyone expect better?
Them vs us.
And they are waiting for more of us to start using Obamacare..therefore they will be unable to repeal it.
They want more of us dependent...more votes for them...Republican and Democrat.
Time to sack DC.
I was not referring to the figurative “bury”, but the real meaningful, everlasting, permanent, version of the word.
We all have a choice to become a slave or not. Submit or not. Fight or not.
We have just about exhausted all peaceful means available to us to rise above the tyranny being inflicted upon us by those in government and the idiots who vote for them. Secession will be the last potentially peaceful step we take to free ourselves. If that fails to remain peaceful... Well.. We will just see who walks away from that fight.. IF anyone, walks away from that fight.
We gave them new life on November 2nd, I guess they didn’t want it.
There are ways to tweak the language of pre-existing conditions laws to exclude moochers, yet prevent those who fall ill while insured from being excluded from a risk pools and condemned to death in the future to enhance insurance company profit margins.
It’s been obvious right along that “repeal and replace” actually means “we can do socialism better than the Democrats.”
I really don't expect better, but, quite frankly, I deserve better...much better...much, much better...
See my post #67. I agree with what you are saying. The trick is to get the people insured before they get a Pre- ex condition.
Cantor is one of the wimpiest, pencil necked pricks I’ve ever seen.
So when all those candidate ran on a promise to repeal Obamacare then they were just lying to us?
