Trump insisted he would protect preexisting conditions despite supporting a lawsuit that would remove existing protections for tens of millions of Americans.
The first debate between President Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden quickly turned to a discussion of health care.
“He has no plan for health care,” Biden said. “He sends out wishful thinking; he has executive orders that have no power. He hasn’t lowered drug costs for anybody. He’s been promising a health care plan since he got elected. He has none, like almost everything else he talks about – he doesn’t have a plan. The fact is this man doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
In June, the Trump administration filed a brief to the Supreme Court urging it to overturn the ACA in a case backed by 20 Republican-led states. The brief included a section arguing that the ACA’s protections for those with preexisting conditions must be overturned as well, contradicting Trump’s repeated statements that he and Republicans supported maintaining them.
