GOP lawmakers have gone into full troll mode to mock a Democratic health care bill that’s slated for a vote this week. The Protecting Americans with Preexisting Conditions Act seeks to block a Trump administration policy announced last year making it easier for states to circumvent certain requirements under the Affordable Care Act. Rep. George Holding (R-N.C.) has submitted two amendments to the Rules Committee seeking to rename the bill, The Hill first pointed out on Monday. “Insert Politically Punchy Title That Doesn’t Reflect The Bill Substance Act” was one of Holding’s suggestions; “Nothing In This Bill Would Protect Individuals With Pre-Existing Conditions Act” was the other. His ideas included changing the bill’s name to “Don’t Let States Innovate Act” and “This Bill Limits Health Care Choices Act.”Walden introduced a bill of his own regarding preexisting conditions earlier this year.
