Portability Priorities

The biggest change Republican lawmakers want to health insurance is portability between states. Surely this will make them more money as they seek the state with the lowest (worst?) costs and ethics. As someone who has been forced to go for months without coverage, I can report this is not the biggest concern of the lowly people. What we need is portability between jobs not states. If we had this type of portability between jobs, it would not only keep people insured, but would also greatly reduce the preexisting condition problem we are also dealing with. Once a person is covered on an insurance plan - either through work or with an individual policy - they should be able to keep that policy for as long as they need it at a reasonable cost. Can we do that first please?
