The AHCA also gives states the option of taking some high-cost enrollees with pre-existing conditions who may have to drop coverage, and creating a separate high-risk pool to cover them. The bill provides up to about $15 billion a year in funding for the high-risk pool through 2026.

Analysts at Avalere Health estimate that funding could cover about 600,000 people. Yet, in Texas alone, there are nearly 200,000 people with pre-existing chronic conditions who'd qualify.
"If any large states receive a waiver, many chronically ill individuals could be left without access to insurance," said Caroline Pearson, senior vice president at Avalere..
