The administration and Republican-led states want Obamacare to be struck down as unconstitutional, which would have wide-ranging implications for America's health care system.
President Donald Trump on Monday said he has"saved" the component of current health care policy that prohibits insurance companies from refusing clients because of pre-existing conditions. But this claim is false, as his administration continues to advocate in court for the full repeal of the Obama-era law known as the Affordable Care Act.
He continued:"If Republicans win in court and take back the House of Representatives, your healthcare, that I have now brought to the best place in many years, will become the best ever, by far. I will always protect your Pre-Existing Conditions, the Dems will not!" But the administration and Republican-led states across the country are advocating in the courts for the law to be struck down as unconstitutional, a ruling that would have. That would include no longer requiring health insurance companies to accept clients with pre-existing conditions and would allow discrimination—even outright denial—to occur toward those with certain medical conditions.
President Donald Trump arrives for an executive order signing regarding Medicare at the Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts Center in the Villages, Florida, on October 3, 2019.With health care playing a pivotal role in the 2018 midterms, Democratic-led states and the House, which are defending the ACA, have asked for the Supreme Court to take up the matter and issue a ruling ahead of the November elections.
