I'm torn about this legislation. Since obamacare passed I've had continually higher premiums which is pushing me to the breaking point. I support insurance for preexisting conditions, I don't believe insurers should be able to turn anyone away, for any reason. That said, I don't want the government running my healthcare, I don't want to have to buy insurance from the government, and I don't want to pay for the bad mistakes of others - that's difficult to do but that's my opinion. That all said, I think the media is still in the "fuck Trump" mode and no matter what the republicans or trump comes up with, the media is going to take a shit on it.

All that being said, I don't think the issue is republicans, democrats, or trump. I think the issue with our healthcare is the insurance companies themselves, doctors, medical device companies, pharmaceutical companies, and everyone else who takes a cut, adds a surcharge, and has generally done all they could to squeeze every last dime for their shareholders. Like the big banks, I want to see reform of the health care INDUSTRY, and strict limits placed on what they can charge, whom they can charge, and the whole pile on, surcharge habit.
