As long as insurers can't charge more (/ deny coverage altogether) based on health status, Obamacare lives. Everything else is window dressing.
I mostly agree with this. This is why I am hoping they can chip away at that as well. For example, insurance companies are allowed to charge more to being a smokers. Hopefully they add other types of exceptions like this based on other aspects of health status. We will see. I think the fact that the GOP leaked plan will re-create high risk polls seems to indicate they will make progress moving away from community rating. One can only hope.
