The health policy vision Vance outlined would leave chronically ill patients better off than they are under Obamacare. And it would do so while reducing costs and expanding coverage options for healthier patients.
When asked how people with pre-existing conditions would fare under a Trump-Vance administration during last week’s vice-presidential debate, Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, was unequivocal. “Well, of course, we’re going to cover Americans with pre-existing conditions.”
The question was prompted by Vance’s statement last month that the Republican ticket would consider creating different risk pools for chronically ill people in order to expand the number of insurance choices available to all Americans — rather than the one-size-fits-all status quo under Obamacare.
Democrats seized on the comment, arguing that Republicans wanted to “rip away” protections for those with pre-existing conditions.
