They lied when they claimed this. All they want to do is tear the ACA (Obamacare) down. They have never had a coherent plan to replace it. They know that coverage for pre-existing conditions is popular so they lie and say they support it. Polls show the public wants to keep the protection. Meanwhile, Republicans are now suing to end the entire ACA. Sad!
The Justice Department has now announced that it will not defend any part of the Affordable Care Act. If it has its way, the entire ACA should fall.https://t.co/GTJInGDsA4

The Trump DOJ just told a federal appellate court that these are all unconstitutional:

* protecting coverage for pre-existing conditions
* providing health insurance exchanges for small business
* allowing States to expand Medicaid
* and everything else under the ACA https://t.co/UkehaCLV0e
Arguably a larger 2020 development than the Mueller report summary. https://t.co/yteM2OqsHC

JUST IN: In a new filing, the Justice Department now says the courts should strike down the entire Affordable Care Act — not just its protections for pre-existing conditions. https://t.co/1YZiGp06x4

The Trump administration is now arguing in court that the whole ACA should be thrown out, including pre-existing condition protections. The president’s budget also proposes repeal and replace of the ACA. This sets up a clear contrast for the 2020 general election on health care. https://t.co/kMBPrKIKKj

As I keep pointing out (and as @RonBrownstein JUST WROTE ABOUT a few days ago), while it’s fine to discuss & debate #MFA vs #Med4America, etc, THE #ACA IS STILL UNDER ATTACK. MFA/etc won’t happen until 2022 at the earliest. The ACA is under attack NOW.https://t.co/GnEZWVoCdX

Why don't you ask the millions of people who are alive today & not flat broke because ACA protected them from having their premiums tripled or thrown off their insurance for having a pre-existing condition? GOP still trying to kill it #BeBesthttps://t.co/tcBMmJ5x1Q
