Democratic lawmakers pressed Attorney General William Barr in a contentious hearing Tuesday over the Justice Department’s lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act that, if it prevails, would cause millions of Americans to lose their health care coverage.
In a legal brief filed last month, the Justice Department signaled support of a recent district court decision in Texas that ruled the ACA unconstitutional. The ruling was immediately appealed and is likely to make its way to the Supreme Court. The Trump administration, which initially said Obamacare’s insurance protections should be struck down as unconstitutional, is now seeking to overturn the ACA in its entirety.
“As an attorney general you take positions based on the law, and you litigate them in court and the court makes the decision. So if this was such a hokey position to take, what are you worried about?”
The Dems are worried because they know whatever Trump does will make Obamacare look like a sick joke. Honestly, we could have bought a private healthcare plan for every man, woman, and child for less than these idiots spent on just starting the ACA website!
TheDemocrats. Why so worried?
