Judge rules cities' Affordable Care Act lawsuit can proceed

A federal judge in Maryland has ruled that a lawsuit by several cities alleging that the Trump administration has sabotaged the Affordable Care Act can go forward.

U.S. District Judge Deborah Chasanow on Friday denied part of the government's motion to dismiss the complaint, which was originally filed in 2018 and amended last year.

The lawsuit asserts the administration is trying to discourage enrollment and reduce choices, and will destabilize the health insurance marketplace.

1. This headline is terrible.

This is a good thing but I imagined just the opposite when I read the headline. I wonder how many other people thought the same and just passed it by unwilling to take any more bad news today?

Btw, I know you aren't responsible for the headline.

It was a pleasant surprise to read the post and realize this was good news.
