Insurers warn Cruz provision will 'skyrocket' premiums for sick people

Insurers warn Cruz provision will 'skyrocket' premiums for sick people
BY PETER SULLIVAN - 07/14/17 08:51 PM EDT

America’s Health Insurance Plans and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association warned that the provision from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) would mean “premiums will skyrocket for people with preexisting conditions” and “millions of more individuals will become uninsured.”
