Trump still supports the lawsuit that will invalidate the Affordable Care Act and cause millions to lose their health insurance.

Donald Trump on Wednesday said he still supports a Republican-led lawsuit before the Supreme Court that seeks to invalidate the Affordable Care Act, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

More than 1.2 million Americans have tested positive for the virus, and nearly 72,000 have died from it, according to a tally from the Washington Post.

Meanwhile, more than 30 million people have lost their jobs, and with that, they may have lost their employer-sponsored health care. Without the ACA -- better known as Obamacare -- it's unclear how those Americans would secure health insurance to pay for the cost of medical care or hospitalization if they contracted the coronavirus.

Members of Trump's own administration, including Attorney General William Barr, have urged Trump to back off its support of a lawsuit from Republican attorneys general that would invalidate Obamacare. According to CNN, those aides fear the political blowback if Obamacare is repealed, given that the law is popular.

1. How many times over how many years have we heard that the GOP

would soon be announcing their 'replacement' plan?

[First Speaker]

16. They just gave it to us. Shine a light up your ass and ingest some Lysol...

...I stole that from somewhere, but it remains apt...

[progree]

22. Well, they certainly presented their plans -- the AHCA and the BCRA. Problem: they were awful

This Wikipedia articles covers both the AHCA (American Health Care Act) and the BCRA (Better Care Reconciliation Act)

would increase the number of people who are uninsured by 23 million in 2026 relative to current law.

A little bit better: leaving 22 million uninsured in 2026 relative to current law.

Both can only be described as acts of American Genocide. We need to call the GOP the American Genocide Party.

And no, emergency rooms are not comprehensive health care -- they do just enough to stabilize you and then give you a fistful of prescriptions that you can't afford to fill, and a bunch of referrals to doctors and specialists that you can't afford to see if you are like most uninsured. And I'm not talking about some aberrant ones that have been in a news, wheeling someone out onto the sidewalk and leaving them there. No, no, no, I'm talking about ALL of them. ALL.

2. Healthcare...#1 midterm campaign issue.

Not a smart move, Dear Leader. Doing this during a pandemic is the dumbest of dumb ideas. Hopefully this will terminate his re-election plans and not more people.

9. He is dumb but thinks he is a genius. I can't wait until we wash him away

in November.

[Ohiogal]

3. Why doesn't any reporter

ask this sack of shit why he thinks decimating health care DURING A PANDEMIC isn't a crime against humanity?

[MFGsunny]

4. Also watch Bloomberg's follow-up interview with Gov. Malloy (D-CT) at link below.

Meeting referred to in video from OP is Feb.27, 2017.

And of course, MF45 has done zero to deliver the ghost GOOP health plan, but he has done PLENTY to eff over the rest of us with his lawsuits to Destroy-Obamacare, most notably on pre-existing conditions.

MF45 = Destroyer-Grifter in Chief.

5. This from 2017?

[Paper Roses]

6. THia man is trying to kill all of us!

Can't afford to buy insurance, he thinks you are worthless. I'm disgusted beyond words.

[LymphocyteLover]

7. He is evil personified

It's goddamned hard to take this descent into hell.

[LymphocyteLover]

8. The only reason Obamacare premiums have gone up is because of the evil MOFO

and he's done nothing to make it better and only made it worse.

[turbinetree]

10. And because of one Marco Rubio..............and he brags about it..............

11. It's all part of religion vs science for them, with an eye toward costs

Everything Trump does is about enabling pollution, risk, disease, to help corporations financially while making people irrelevant. They don't want you to have health care or call a doctor. They want you to call Jesus. It's cheaper for them.

12. and trump surrounds himself with nurses on Nurses Day and says this horrible thing.........

24. Literally every minute of every day I'm hoping to hear that Tangeranus has passed ...

And I absolutely do not care how it happens.

Well, other than hoping for it to be both painful and humiliating.

15. speaknow

Trump and his boot licker's want to end ACA but in the meantime
he'll knock off as many senior's as he can, to stop paying SS.

[paleotn]

17. Mucking with the ACA....

It's been a loser for Rethugs so far, so why not double down?

The one thing modern Republicans are consistently good at....being fucking stupid.
