the honesty of republican politicians and heathcare....just a sampling

or

Don Trump: The Graham-Cassidy health care bill does "include coverage of pre-existing conditions."

Ron Johnson: The GOP’s health bill will protect people with pre-existing conditions "every bit as well as Obamacare did."

Mike Pence: "Thomas Jefferson said, ‘Government that governs least governs best.’ "

Karen Handel: "The Affordable Care Act is the single largest tax increase in my lifetime."

Sean Duffy: Vermont had to "scrap" its single-payer health insurance program because it was "going bankrupt."

Bill Cassidy: Under the Graham-Cassidy health insurance bill, in "states like Maine, Virginia, Florida, Missouri, there will be billions more dollars to provide health insurance coverage for those in those states who have been passed by by Obamacare."

Paul Ryan: "We’ve got dozens of counties around America that have zero insurers left."

Marco Rubio: "In order to sell insurance in Florida there are over 40 separate individual conditions that must be covered. ... far beyond the essential health benefits included in Obamacare."

Kevin McCarthy: "More people, almost twice as many, pay the penalty or take the waiver than signed up for (Obamacare)."
