He doesn’t care what happens to people who would be affected by the end of the ACA which include many of his cult members.
How did #Trump decide to have his administration support a wacky lawsuit to destroy the #AffordableCareAct?

"It does not appear that questions about the law or the real-world impact" of the lawsuit "weighed heavily on Trump’s mind."@ThePlumLineGS
Why does this not surprise us? https://t.co/Q8Wg0TrIEI
"Either Trump actually believes Republicans will come up with a plan to mitigate all this damage (in which case he’s dangerously incurious about the policy complexities involved), or he doesn’t care if they do not (in which case he’s dangerously venal and reckless)." https://t.co/e02sYdbmwT

White House has no 'fresh' health care proposal, but plans to send one to Congress this year https://t.co/MzlThQG7kL

The fate of Obamacare could — once again — hinge on the Supreme Court, which has installed two conservative justices since it voted to uphold the landmark health-care law. If the courts were to overturn the ACA, around 20 million Americans would lose their health coverage.

BREAKING: ACA enrollment numbers are out just as Trump aims to eliminate it.
— Andy Slavitt (@ASlavitt) March 28, 2019
11.4 million enrolled. Rates down 1.5%.
Worth remembering that after the government shutdown + last failed ACA repeal vote, McConnell is happy to let Trump own his own thoughts. https://t.co/rS30r0Ymwh

Trump says he's asked a small group of senators including Barrasso, Cassidy and Scott to come up with a "spectacular" health care plan. Says plan is being worked on "now" but "there's no very great rush" as Texas Ocare case is still in court. https://t.co/BOgkLQYil4

I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing legislation to protect the millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions, stabilize the ACA and make health care more affordable.

Michigan, in your state:
— Andy Slavitt (@ASlavitt) March 28, 2019
✅618,000 have gained coverage from the ACA
✅4.1 mm have a pre-ex condition
✅Medicaid expansion has kept rural hospitals alive
Trump is holding a rally in MI tonight as he aims to end your coverage.
This will shadow Trump every place he goes. 👀

In light of renewed ACA repeal talks, I looked at the most recent CCES data. (n=59,899).

Repealing the ACA is unpopular. Support among moderates is comfortably below 50% and only the most extreme conservatives support at a rate as intense as the least extreme liberals oppose. pic.twitter.com/PVj4i7We6v
Sad!
