Your regular reminder that President Trump is still trying to overturn the entire ACA, stripping health care away from millions of people in the middle of a global pandemic.

And he has absolutely no plan to replace it. https://t.co/pvJOTq3BVO

"The same Republican senators who profess to uphold the ACA’s protections for people with preexisting conditions vote in lockstep for judges like [Justin] Walker who are on the record with their contempt for the law," writes @EleanorClift https://t.co/kt4i2nonil

News: President Trump says he's standing by his support for a lawsuit to wipe out Obamacare, calling the law "a disaster" and promising a replacement "with a great health care at far less money." (The White House does not have a replacement plan.) pic.twitter.com/w74eJb25Xv

Rep. @RodneyDavis voted 11 times to repeal the ACA with no replacement.

Then he voted for a bill to take away protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Next, he voted to support this lawsuit.

Enough is enough. It’s time to #ProtectOurCare.https://t.co/qN6laT2KNG

NBC/WSJ Poll: Ten years later, Obamacare is as popular as it’s ever been (@mmurraypolitics) https://t.co/781JypbKXf

Tens of thousands of Americans have died from #COVID19. Over 1.2M have been infected.

And yet, even in the midst of this pandemic, the President & his party refuse to end efforts to dismantle the ACA & rip health care away from millions of Americans. It would be a disaster. https://t.co/bEccYBs1xs

President Trump is asking the Supreme Court to overturn the ACA. He has never offered a plan to replace the ACA. While he has said he will protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, he has supported Congressional proposals to weaken those protections.

Wiping out the ACA was so unpopular that a Republican-controlled Congress couldn't pass it. Can only imagine how popular wiping out the ACA is during a freaking pandemic. https://t.co/QSisZqG5V0

Worth noting, as Trump faces polls showing him underperforming w/seniors, that every GOP alternative to the #ACA required higher premiums & fewer protections for older consumers w/health conditions as the means for reducing premiums costs for younger/healthier people. https://t.co/iIVQlIke7g

Just a reminder that the Trump administration’s support for the latest suit to kill Obamacare is as legally meritless as it is politically stupid. https://t.co/KUb7QCQviL

I wrote this piece about the indefensible decision by Trump to have “his” Justice Department urge the Supreme Court to strike down all of the Affordable Care Act, during a pandemic no less. A betrayal of fundamental principles. https://t.co/BB0Lf9nKrr

Trump: "We want to terminate health care for, under Obamacare, because it's bad, and we're replacing it with a great health care at far less money and it includes pre-existing conditions."

We're five years into him talking about health care at this level of specificity.
