By Greg Sargent Greg Sargent Opinion writer covering national politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 27 at 3:28 PM As we’ve been discussing here, the Trump administration has fully embraced a lawsuit that seeks to overturn the Affordable Care Act entirely based on a legal theory that is being widely dismissed by commentators across the spectrum as nothing but a bad joke.
McCarthy told Trump over the phone that the decision made no sense — especially after Democrats killed Republicans in the midterms in part over the issue of pre-existing conditions, according to two sources familiar with their recent conversation. ... Trump, however, is unconcerned. He blithely asserted: “The Republican Party will soon be known as the party of health care.”
Now Trump publicly recommitted his party to total repeal, which has got Republicans angry with him. But what’s amusing is that this actually is the GOP’s current stance. Sure, Republicans are rhetorically committed to keeping some form of protections for preexisting conditions . But as Peter Suderman notes, there’s still no serious GOP plan for actually doing this, precisely because Republicans won’t make the hard policy choices necessary to create such a plan.
Jonathan Cohn had a good piece outlining the true dimensions of this deception campaign. It wasn’t just that many of those Republicans had already voted to roll back those very protections as part of the Obamacare repeal effort. It’s also that even before voting that way, many Republicans had also vowed to keep those protections — before reneging on that promise. Small wonder that voters didn’t believe them the second time — and voted in a Democratic House.
Health care is so nescessary🤷♂️ if is then the Trump input finish in this
At this point only someone with their head buried in the sand doesn’t know TRUMPCARE is an OXYMORON. Resist We made a deck of playing cards. KnowYourDeplorables
Hahaha...lmao at how the republicans have followed this demented narcissistic fraud over a cliff. Tragic for the country though. Hey now about those Russians and Chinese in Venezuela pointing missiles toward the U.S. Now the fools and have to suck on that.
A truly rotten human being. Not really human...
Trump will be HATED if he kills the ACA. Last time he tried, dozens of tragic stories w/photos (many of babies & small children) were on my Twitter feed. People begging not to die or families begging not to let their children die. All about pre-existing conditions. Heartbreaking.
The VERY honorable Washington Pos

OPINION: This is totally FakeNews!
This is fake news. The GOP has never had a problem lying about healthcare.
No honor among jerks.
Yup!
That’s what snake OBama did
It seems like this debate over the USA's human rights violation of selective and hierarchical health care access has boiled down to two sides: Americans who have employer-provided health insurance and/or adequate incomes to cover those expenses, and those who do not.
Where is the better health care plan Trump Promises made promises broken again!!!! Republicans and Trump have no intention of getting better healthcare for American workers!!!! They only want to please their hypocritical base

They've taken up the challenge with gusto, if today's interviews are any indication.
What Republican finds it hard to lie? 🤔
