New AHCA is huge win for conservatives who have railed that pre-existing condition mandates and maternity benefits drove up premiums.

It cuts premiums by making sure people who actually need treatment don’t get it. Huge win! https://t.co/Q3Pn5y6HBj

Okay, I have a deal to suggest - let people choose! They like choice, right? Health freedom and all that? You get to choose whether to pay premiums based on the original Obamacare’s “Community Rating”, or you can pay premiums based on individual rating, so if you’re young and have no preexisting conditions, your premiums are way lower!
Just one little catch - if you choose the latter, it only pays for doctor visits, preventive care, etc. No major medical. You get cancer? Well, pal, you should have thought of that before you chose the cheapo plan!
