.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump's war against the ACA reaches a new, striking level.
Shortly before the 2018 midterm elections, Donald Trump tried something odd, even by this president’s standards: he tried to tell voters that when it came to health care benefits, Republicans were actually more liberal than Democrats. “Republicans will totally protect people with Pre-Existing Conditions,” the president tweeted two weeks before Election Day. “Democrats will not!”
The Trump administration broadened its attack on the Affordable Care Act on Monday, telling a federal appeals court that it now believed the entire law should be invalidated. Not to put too fine a point on this, but the Trump administration’s position, as of yesterday, is that the courts should do what Congress did not: destroy the existing health care system, taking health security from tens of millions of Americans.
