THREAD: Tonight I'm covering the House vote on H.R. 986, or the Protecting Americans with Preexisting Conditions Act, a Democrat-sponsored bill aimed at stopping the Trump admin's guidance on ACA waivers/coverage.

The guidance allowed states to access waivers for some health care plans and/or promote other plans even if they did not meet the same level of coverage a patient might have had under ACA.

Dems argue the admin's maneuver to redefine coverage rules hurts patients because it opens the floodgates to poor care and predatory practices by states & insurers. Republicans argue HR986 is a sham bill, misleadingly named and only restricts patient choice.
