White House chief of staff claims that gutting the pre-existing conditions coverage provided by Obamacare won't leave millions without insurance
During a Sunday morning appearance on ABC's This Week, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney claimed that millions of Americans are not at risk of losing health care coverage based on pre-existing conditions if the President Donald Trump is successful in his latest attempt to fully repeal the Affordable Care Act.
"Yes," Mulvaney responded. “The debate about pre-existing conditions is over. Both parties support them and anyone telling you anything different is lying for political gain.” He added that Republican lawmakers would be devising a new plan while the lawsuit works its way through the courts. ‘There is no Republican plan right now. You’re talking about how you want one, but there is no Republican plan right now," said Tapper said."You’re taking legal action to kill Obamacare with no replacement for these tens of millions of Americans.”
On Tuesday, Democrats unveiled a largely symbolic resolution that blasted Republican efforts to overturn the law.
