Diane Black: As a Nurse, I Assure You We Are Going to Take Care of People with Pre-Existing Conditions

EXCERPT:

BLACK: "This latest provision says that if a state decides that they’re going to do certain measures on preexisting conditions, they must have an alternative, and that is they must have an alternative within their state for high-risk pool, or they come into the federal government’s high-risk pool. There must be an opportunity for people with preexisting conditions to be covered just as they were in our original measure. I want to ensure — you know, as you say, Jake, I am a nurse. I want to assure people we are going to take care of, as has been promised in the previous measure and as promised in this measure, that people with preexisting conditions will be covered.”
