On MSNBC, Ali Vashili reported that the GOP offered up the following list of 10 essential health benefits, required by the ACA, that they would be willing to give up to get votes for passage of their Health care bill:
Pregnancy, Maternity, Newborn Care
Mental Health & Substance Abuse Treatment
Prescription Drugs
Emergency Services
Hospitalization
Outpatient Care
Rehabilitation
Laboratory & Diagnostic Tests
Preventative & Wellness Services
Pediatric Care
I guess this is what its come down to and you would order a la carte, from the Menu.
I'll take 2 Pregnancies with the works. Hold the Laboratory & Diagnostic Tests Alex because my sister said I could use hers. She works out and eats healthy and so she don't get sick much. Besides we kind of look alike and she uses my ID and Driver's License all the time so she don't have to buy car insurance, so she owes me.
Hold the Pediatric Care, Emergency Services, Preventative & Wellness Services because I didn't need it with my last baby and I don't have enough to pay for all those those extra services this year. I'll get them in two years when I get through paying off my Emergency Services and Rehabilitation Care from my car accident three years ago. Also skip the Prescription Drugs. My cousin says he works with a guy who can get drugs at a discount.
