When Stephanopoulos pointed out that even if the AHCA didn't take away coverage from those with preexisting conditions, it enabled insurers to charge them more, Ryan countered that such provisions wouldn't apply to people who
retained continuous coverage — or coverage without any gaps — to which Stephanopoulos noted that people often lose coverage, and its not their personal choice.
But if the ACA's guaranteed issue requirements are not
retained, there are two main avenues for covering pre-existing conditions that have been included in most of the proposals put forth over the last few years: high - risk pools or a «
continuous coverage» requirement, or both.
