Tom MacArthur: ‘Our Commitment Is that People with Preexisting Conditions Will Be Covered’

‘It restored the essential health benefits back to the federal standard’

EXCERPT:

MacARTHUR: "And so this is important to me. I know there is a lot of fear in America. For me yesterday shouldn’t be a day about cheering or jeering. We have to be sober about this. Americans are afraid. And we need to help them understand that what we’re doing here is trying to first save a part of the insurance market that is really collapsing rapidly and our commitment is that people with preexisting conditions will be covered. But we’re doing it differently than the Affordable Care Act and doing it in a way that doesn’t put that burden on every other policy holder to the point where they can’t afford insurance."
