in asking a federal appeals court to entirely overturn former President Barack Obama's signature health care law — a decision that could leave millions uninsured.
If the ruling is allowed to stand, more than 20 million Americans would be at risk of losing their health insurance, re-igniting a winning political issue for Democrats heading into the 2020 elections. President Donald Trump, who never produced a health insurance plan to replace"Obamacare," is now promising one after the elections.The Trump administration acknowledged it had changed positions in the case.
The now-repealed fines enforce the law's insurance requirement, and without them the rest of the law cannot pass constitutional muster, the administration wrote. The appeals court is expected to hold oral arguments in July. Meanwhile, the effects of the lower court ruling have been on hold pending appeals.
Becerra was defiant Wednesday."Our legal coalition will vigorously defend the law and the Americans President Trump has abandoned," he said in a statement.
Repeal and Betray. Truly Republican. Truly unAmerican.
Why wasn’t this on your Nightly News? It’s important❗️
Do not do this to the American people! I will die!
This would affect everyone, not just those on ACA plans. No more lifetime cap means anyone could get sick and go bankrupt. No more guaranteed coverage for pre-existing conditions. No staying on your parents’ plan until age 26. Poof! All gone because of Trump, Barr, & GOP.
Obama just wanted people with no insurance to be able to get some instead of going to the emergency room then not paying. Some 76 billion a year was being paid to hospitals by the government because of uninsured people. Why don't republicans want to stop that?
They really want to be retired in 2020
This should be EVERYONE’s headline today - screw The Barr Distraction CNNPolitics allinwithchris JoeBiden MSNBC AliVelshi NicolleDWallace HardballChris MaddowBlog 11thHour CBSNews ABC
This is what a lot of people voted for..... The GOP spent years saying they would do this.... Please do not act horrified now if you voted for any Republican....
carolinapanthag Evil bastards.
GOP Greed Over People
But he doesn't want to reveal his healthcare plan until after the 2020 election... who ever voted for him is inhumane and unamerican
What good is insurance if the premiums are so exspensive you can't even use it.
the GOP seems determined to shit on everbody. Why do people vote for these con artists? There seems to be a disconnect.
F that administration !!!
Thought I heard him say GOP would become the party of healthcare? How bold face’d can a lie be? 🤦♂️
When are we going together get rid of this guy. Lol impeach
Obamacare....approved and pushed by the insurance and pharma industry. Universal Health care should have been the answer
hardball Fat Ass POTUS and Shit Ass McConnell will be responsible for the deaths of millions who cannot afford health insurance.
hardball Time to distract
hardball This is more about irrational hate for Obama than anything else. A clear example of how little he cares for the real travails of people.
Hey non-millionaires...Republicans do not care if you live don’t care if you die
No Healthcare, no Medicaid, no Social Security, etc, etc. Trump wants to bring the people to their knees and become a Dictator.
Where is the plan they promised to have ready? Just more lies?
The older I get, the more I'm beginning to realize that the Presidents job is to erase a bunch of stuff the President before him accomplished.
So Hillary pays other countries to do her dirty work with the Americans taxpayers money
So Hillary asked China to illegally get trumps tax returns and send them to her and they would be rewarded greatly. Yep she said that
Healthcare is such a complex web.Many viable solutions to a single problem.Can we have like a hybrid healthcare system(Basic care-govt & enhanced care-private insurance).
Scary times, to remove health insurance with nothing in to replace it with ...this not governing....this Is not what a leader does. We have a dictator wannabe in office people!!
If the Fifth Circuit upholds a lower court's ruling that Obamacare is unconstitutional, what happens to the people on that plan? Trump has told us that it will be replaced by a much better plan, but where is the plan?
no plan to replace and never has been
Trump thinks the lower classes are parasites and wants to get rid of them. Many will die without medical care. This is murder by proxy.
The ACA is a tax. We have the right to petition our government on the issue of taxation.
hardball TRUMP HATES OBAMA, THE BLACK PRESIDENT, MORE THAN HE LOVES AMERICAN LIVES.
Despicable
People who vote Republican deserve to lose their healthcare, their party has been trying for years to take away healthcare but I guess that's a small price to pay for making sure nobody else has it either.
hardball 😡
He don’t CARE‼️
Obamacare is unaffordable unless your getting it free
Seeing that he has no plan to fix it this could be one of the ways we can get him out in 2020
Can’t you see it yet? Trump is doing everything he can to ensure he is pushed out of office. If he does this, even is most fervent of his supporters will turn against him.
freenc2018 Pure evil.
GOP won't rest until health care, social security , and medicare are gone. Keep the people sick and dumb. Easier to control after they rob us blind.
Again How often must we go down this road.
hardball Good by Heathcare and pre conditions.. A Gilf to Trump’s Base.
With a complicit Senate and judiciary is anyone surprised?
Obamacare needs to die !!
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT YOUR MOM AND DAD!!! THEY ARE NOT THERE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH FOOD, SHELTER, MEDICINE, CLOTHES!!!! YOU ARE AN ADULT NOW!!! FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN!!!
It will also allow us working people to choose! Unlike the lie Obama Hussein told us when he sold us this “F’d” up plan!
IT'S NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS JOB TO PROVIDE HEALTHCARE!!!!! YOU ARE ADULTS NOW!!!! FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN!!!!
hardball Trump assumes that people will buy whatever he gives them and like it if the have no other option.
hardball If they are successful that should guarantee the loss of the White House and Senate.
What? He’s taking away his supporters health care? Oh... never mind ...
hardball realDonaldTrump GOP maddow Where is the promised healthcare plan promised by Trump throughout his campaign? Repeal and REPLACE!?
Could? It would. This isn't even a debatable fact.
Obama’s overreach will hopefully be corrected!
hardball I am completely flummoxed at this strategy. This is 400 electoral vote washout type stuff. And they're marching headlong into it.
Then we overturn gop
He took his base's foodstamps, opioids & now their healthcare...bu-bye Republicans👋👋👋
All with no replacement plan. Typical republican just because it’s called Obamacare
Trump has no need to care about people of less stature than himself.
SEE HE DON’T CARE ABOUT ABERAGE ( POOR OR MIDDLE GLASS) PEOPLE HE JUST DON’T CARE!
VotingMatters
Hmmmm, I need to screw over my people but how? WAIT, I got it!
Trump as usual has NOTHING to Offer The American People on Healthcare So Why is he so Hellbent on ending Obamacare...It's all about the name!
God why are you letting this monster continue his hate? Plz end it!
To be poor is a crime
Obfuscate and distract. MuellerGate
Trump and GOP: Medicare for all is socialism and millions will lose health insurance! Also Trump and GOP: literally kicking millions off of health insurance plans 🤔
hardball That just proves my point. Republicans, including Trump, doesn't care about Americans. Getting rid of Obamacare, social Security, medicare and Medicaid puts more money in the pockets of the top 1%.
This is why we need to take our vote seriously. No more robot voting. We deserve as citizens health care to keep our health, to keep us alive. People are dying damn it. What the hell is wrong with people. I can't be the only person who is mad.
The GOP healthcare plan looks like this;
hardball Why does our President and the GOP want to hurt and kill Americans? They have no replacement plan ready to take over for the ACA.
Actually, overturning ACA will immediately give healthcare back to 50 million Americans.
Red State Republicans will be voted out of office if they take away Healthcare from their base.
Hey NBCNEWS - REAL NEWS - OBAMACARE forced and left many AMERICANS without affordable health coverage or GOOD COVERAGE. As a BREAST CANCER PATIENT ➡️ I AM ONE OF THEM. My premium TRIPLED - LESS COVERAGE - had to use CHARITIES to HELP PAY MEDICAL COSTS & LIVING EXPENSES. ENOUGH
hardball They are basically trying to kill people over healthcare.
Remember folks...the rich, white people that run the GOP don’t have to worry about losing their healthcare. It’s all about protecting their money. To hell with the less fortunate.
Thank You President Trump! MAGA! TRUMP2020!🇺🇸😎
This is our healthcare on drugs.
That was the mission all along..To Eliminate all Obama Era policy's.
How many will be Trump supporters
ChuckGrassley ? Have you answered the question yet?

The party of taking and taking away. No surprise.
