The new proposal to tweak the American Health Care Act, known as the MacArthur Amendment, was circulated Tuesday and allows individual states to withdraw from several provisions of Obamacare if they choose. The amendment is the product of negotiations between leaders of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and the moderate Tuesday group.

“The best evidence yet that the new GOP repeal plan is a disaster for people’s health care is that the GOP exempted members of Congress from living under it.”

It would allow states to remove protections for pre-existing conditions, meaning, if invoked, insurers could charge higher premiums for high-risk patients. But the amendment would shield federal lawmakers and their staff if states exercised the opt-out provision\\
