The Trump administration is going to court to try to remove the requirement for insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions. But they want to delay the action until after the midterms.

Trump went from "everyone is going to have health coverage and the government is going to pay for it" to trying to take health coverage away from as many as possible. I cannot imagine how he can look people in the eye while he tries to take health coverage away from someone who has been horribly sick.

Trump’s Justice Department is calling on the courts to throw out protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

Combine this with the Medicare budget shortfall and good luck America.

Of course they will until they get sick. Sooner or later, everyone gets sick.

They cannot blame democrats for coverage they themselves took away. And when they cannot get coverage because of a previous illness, they can thank Trump. I love how he doesn't want the actual removal to come until after midterms.

Of course they can, and they will. They will be wrong, as they so often are, but they will go ahead and blame Obama and the Democrats regardless of reality. They routinely blame Obama for things that didn't happen until after he left office.

And any minute they will defend this along some lines like free enterprise all the wile ignoring the fact that tariffs are not free enterprise.

I have no doubt they can and will but people with a brain will see that Trump is the one trying to take away coverage for pre-existing conditions. If Obama gave people oxygen, Trump would try to take it away due to his sick Obama obsession.
