Trumpcare 2.0: Coverage for your pre-existing conditions is optional... for the insurers.

The terms, described by Representative Mark Meadows, Republican of North Carolina and the head of the Freedom Caucus, are something like this: States would have the option to jettison two major parts of the Affordable Care Act's insurance regulations. They could decide to opt out of provisions that require insurers to cover a standard, minimum package of benefits, known as the essential health benefits. And they could decide to do away with a rule that requires insurance companies to charge the same price to everyone who is the same age, a provision called community rating.

Purely hypothetical situation:
1. A health-insurance bribes a few republican politicians in a state.
2. The republican politicians do away with the mandate that pre-existing conditions must be covered in that state.
3. Profit.
