In a new attempt at undermining Obamacare, Republicans got caught protecting themselves from the evils of their own creation. If you remember, Obamacare forced politicians to buy the same health insurance as the rest of America, which was a good idea. Republicans obviously feel more entitled than their constituents and introduced a new amendment Tuesday "to their already horrific healthcare plan that would allow states to waive out of Obamacare’s ban on preexisting conditions." What that means is that if you have a preexisting condition, you'll pay much more for your healthcare coverage. For some reason Republicans believe that you're responsible for your health, and if you're sicker than others, you must pay more.
