That's pretty much what the the bill does
Of course a replacement is needed.
You don't actually think ANY politician is going to let millions of people who are on the Obama exchanges not be able to buy subsidized insurance and left to hang out to dry. ? Gee, just give the democrats your gun to shoot you with.
This is a piecemeal three phase plan, I'm going to hold fire until the final phase is done.
Their plan seems prudent and well thought out to get it to the President's desk going around the Senate rules to stop the democrats.
Is it perfect ? No. Is it better than Obamacare. By miles and miles...
“The proposed legislation would preserve the prohibition on denying coverage to people with pre-existing conditions or charging them more for such coverage, and it would preserve the prohibition on capping lifetime coverage. It would also continue allowing young adults up to the age of 26 to remain covered under their parents’ health plans.”
If all of this is true it can’t be much better than Obamacare because it still would forbid the sale of actual insurance. When you set such requirements it becomes something other than insurance. Try to imagine the same sort of thing being done to auto or home insurance, you would have to cover houses that have already burned down and cars that have already been stolen or burned or have been the cause of ten car pileups etc. That is NOT insurance!
