Blue Cross warns GOP repeal bill 'undermines' pre-existing condition rules
The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association warned against a new GOP ObamaCare bill on Wednesday, saying it would "undermine" protections for pre-existing conditions.
"The bill contains provisions that would allow states to waive key consumer protections, as well as undermine safeguards for those with pre-existing medical conditions," the association said in a statement.
The bill would allow states to repeal ObamaCare rules that prevent people with pre-existing conditions from being charged higher premiums.
The group, a top association of health insurers, also warned against funding cuts in the bill, saying the block grants it would create could be too small.
