The irony, of course, is that the House's rushed health care repeal bill would allow states to get rid of protections for people with pre-existing conditions — much like Chaffetz's own foot injury (https://www.instagram.com/p/BTXlsQtgAXr/), the result of falling off a ladder in his garage more than a decade ago.
