Like you, I don't care about replacing Obamacare if the replacement plan is better. If the replacement is better I support repeal and replace. However, removing the pre-existing condition provision to appease the Freedom Caucus makes the plan worse for us; not better.
How this has been handled by both parties demonstrates what is wrong with the current state of politics.
You do realize that it doesn't actually take away the pre-existing clause. It gives states the option to get a waiver for it nothing more. If the states decide to exersice that option then get pissed at your state officials.
