Good luck making the math work in that scenario. According to the report I heard, it also lets providers deny enrollment if you’ve had a break in coverage - so if you lose insurance it may be hard to get it back; and it allows providers to assign people with pre-existing conditions into “high-risk” groups (with higher premiums, presumably). So, really, very little like Obamacare except you can cover your children just as long. > [@aurora\_maire](#): > > This racist, asshole, fuckwad is running for congress in Tennessee. > > Make America White Again I saw this guys on the local news last night and I assumed he was Republican (although, to be fair, the state GOP chair has publically denounced him).

The biggest news so far has been the outcry over the two billboards he’s purchased. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day/490897)._
