Mitt's national healthcare plan is the ER

Mitt's national campaign had to clear up Mitt's comment during the first presidential debate on pre existing conditions. Under President Obama's healthcare law insurance companies could not discriminate against people with pre existing conditions. However Mitt would "repeal" the Affordable Care Act. What about pre existing conditions of the patient? Well, it would be up to states to hold insurance companies accountable. So this fits neatly into the ideology of the Republican party: 1). The role of federal government is diminished. 2). States rights means that each state acts alone. 3). There is no role for the federal government in a individual's healthcare "choice". 4). Corporations are left to make business decisions that would affect their bottom line without the "interference" of federal government. What about the the other salient features of Obamacare(s)? Mitt and his Republican party would let insurance companies cap expenses. Parents could not kept their children insured until age 26. Insurance companies would not be required to spend 80 percent of premiums on patient care. In essence the Republican plan would be: Our national healthcare plan is the ER for all. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/10/top-romney-adviser-states-will-have-to-cover-people-with-pre-existing-conditions-under-president-rom.php?ref=fpb
