Price Defends Pre-existing Condition Coverage

WASHINGTON — Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price on Sunday firmly defended health care legislation passed in the House this week against charges that people who have pre-existing conditions could see their insurance premiums rise under some circumstances.

Asked about the numerous health groups and organizations opposed to the bill during an interview on NBC's "Meet The Press," Price responded, "What I believe they are not recognizing is this is a different and we believe better way" to cover individuals with pre-existing conditions or injuries.

Price later added, "sometimes change can be disconcerting to folks. And that's why I would suggest that that list of groups that you had up earlier, say they now oppose it, the fact of the matter is, they're not focusing on the kinds of things that are going to improve the system."

The House of Representatives on Thursday narrowly passed their version of the American Health Care Act, a bill that attempts to "repeal and replace" Obamacare, but the bill is expected to go through significant alterations in the Senate.

1. Price, Pence & Trump running neck and neck in the Lying Asshole Derby.

Look for a three-way photo finish.

2. He's moving his mouth, but nothing

worth listening to is coming out. Just the same old lies.

3. He's working on his autobiography, "I Sc*mb*g"... n/m

4. These physicians in Congress and

Price should be asked why they hate their patients. Evil.

5. I've heard Price is more of a botique doctor

Anyone know what his specialty is?

7. He was an orthopedic surgeon

Have no idea how many times he got sued, or how many people he maimed

6. "Not focusing" means all the health organizations opposed to their bill

don't agree the those new tax cuts, that make Price* and all his rich friends s-o-o-o happy, are a good thing for the rest of us. Trump's bill repeals two tax increases on high earners enacted in 2010 that helped pay for the Affordable Care Act; giving super rich people like them a gigantic transfer of wealth from the lowest-income Americans to the highest-income Americans.

*Tom Price has net worth of $13.6 Million.

8. It's the same old "free market" horseshit...

Competition will lower prices! The free market will cover everybody!

Just because it has never done any of that before is no reason not to trust the invisible hand!

The magic invisible hand of the free market will solve all of our problems!

This time it will work! I promise!
