VERIFIED: Speaker Ryan is wrong

Remember this?

A new report from the Kaiser Family Foundation confirms Speaker Ryan is wrong and six million Americans with pre-existing conditions could be charged more under TrumpCare. Highlights from The Hill:

“More than 6 million people with pre-existing conditions could face higher insurance premiums under the GOP’s ObamaCare repeal bill because of gaps in coverage, according to a new analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF).”

“Under the American Health Care Act (AHCA), which narrowly passed the House last month, states would be allowed to waive the community rating provision of ObamaCare, which prevents insurers from charging more for those with pre-existing conditions.”

“…According to the analysis released Wednesday, 6.3 million people who have a pre-existing condition also have had gaps in coverage that would lead to a substantial premium increase. Since the legislation keeps ObamaCare's ban on insurers denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions, those people would instead be charged a lot more money.”

“More 27 million people had a gap in coverage of at least several months in 2015, the analysis said. Karen Pollitz, a KFF senior fellow and one of the study's authors, told The Hill that while the 63-day rule may seem like a long time, ‘unless you act almost immediately [after losing coverage] you could end up with a 63-day gap.’”
