Under the bill, states that wanted to allow insurers to charge those people more would have to set up a “high-risk pool,” where sick people could get coverage. The problem is those high-risk pools are notoriously underfunded, so people with pre-existing conditions pay more. — PolitiTweet.org

The AHCA allowed insurers to take into account “health status” when setting premiums. That means they could charge more for pre-existing conditions. So while insurers couldn’t *deny* sick people, they absolutely could charge them more — an unaffordable amount more. — PolitiTweet.org

There were caveats in the bill stating that people with pre-existing conditions would be covered—a toothless statement undermined by actual the policies—and provisions that people with continuous coverage wouldn’t be charged more. But people have coverage lapses all the time! — PolitiTweet.org
