ObamaCare patients: expensive drug costs for pre-existing conditions
Started by MC Lambeth
“People with serious pre-existing diseases, precisely those the president aimed to help with ObamaCare, could find themselves paying for expensive drug treatments with no help from the health care exchanges.
Those with expensive diseases such as lupus or multiple sclerosis face something called a ‘closed drug formulary.’
Dr. Scott Gottlieb of the American Enterprise Institute explains, ‘if the medicine that you need isn’t on that list, it’s not covered at all. You have to pay completely out of pocket to get that medicine, and the money you spend doesn’t count against your deductible, and it doesn’t count against your out of pocket limits, so you’re basically on your own.'”

Thanks MC.
They passed it without knowing what was in it.
Only staffers who actually wrote the language knew, and they were completely trusted to put whatever language they wanted into law.
Fortunately no lobbyists ever influence how laws are written. So, something as massively important as 1/5 of the economy and the actual health care of the whole US at stake, of course no one influenced the verbiage to remove coverage for expensive drugs. But FREE birth control pills and morning after pills, too.Crony Socialists in the dead of night with no smoke filling their back room wrote PP&ACA. We the People have been victimized by Schumer who removed the original 7 pages of HR3590 and replaced it with 2800 pages of Obamacare payback. Democrats in both houses passed the returned (amended) HR3590 to give us years of deficit spending, disruption in insurance markets, monopolistic pressure on hospitals, doctors and the medical field, all the while lining the pockets of those receiving jobs as navigators and those receiving money to build non-functional websites and those now receiving insurance premiums with a government guarantee not to lose money.
