mr. mcdermott. mr. mcdermott: thank you. mr. chairman, i ask unanimous consent that the article i distributed in the committee from "the seattle times request -- "the seattle times," how loss gton performed after of mandates be inserted into the record. mr. price: without objection. mr. mcdermott: this reminds me of the after rhythm that those who cannot -- of the aforism that those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it. this is only a partial dismantling of the law. most importantly it leaves in place the guaranteed issue which requires insurers to cover all americans regardless of their health status while it keeps in place this morse important consumer protection, it repeals the individually shared responsibility provision which mandates that all americans main tane minimal essential coverage. i can't help but wonder if the republican colleagues checked with the insurance companies before they thought of this idea. if they had, they would have heard in no uncertain terms that this is a recipe for disaster. i kn

mr. mcdermott. mr. mcdermott: did you leave in place the provision in the affordable care act that requires insurance companies to policies to ce anybody no matter what their health care status is? >> thank you for your question. the legislation reflects the submissions of the three instructed companies per the f.y. 2016 concurrent budget resolution and the language before you -- does not touch the provision you are referring to. mr. mcdermott: you believe? >> it does not. mr. mcdermott: it would require an insurance company to issue a policy and find out they are sick, they would be required to issue it at that point? >> it believes in place those provisions. it does leave in place those provisions. mr. van hollen: let me ask some questions that are clearly within the subject matter. have you had a chance to review the analysis of this reconciliation legislation? >> yes. we have had a chance to review. mr. van hollen: is it the case that they concluded that this legislation will increase the federal def
