In the dark of night, Congressman David Young flip-flopped on health care. Young’s office has been telling constituents he would oppose the American Health Care Act (AHCA/Trumpcare) which would repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA/Obamacare), including gutting “protections for people with preexisting ailments, because it would allow states to waive the prohibition on insurers from jacking up premiums for them — a prohibition that’s called “community rating” — which could lead to soaring costs and many of them getting priced out of the market entirely,” according to the Washington Post.
Last night, Young flip-flopped:
I’m fighting for Iowans with pre-existing conditions to lower their high healthcare costs under the ACA https://t.co/tuEKOSLyGW #IA03

The only problem? Young’s new amendment is a “total scam.”
This will be a defining moment for Young, who has flipped and flopped on health care repeatedly. Even if his amendment passes, “the bill still guts protections for people with preexisting conditions and rolls back health coverage for millions and millions of poor people.”
