A 7/10/19 opinion article link: "The GOP’s nightmare scenario is playing out in its Obamacare lawsuit"
A brief excerpt. (Pls. read the entire article for more suggested possible outcomes..):
"...The possible outcomes here tend to be bad for consumers — and worse for Republicans, given that the lawsuit was brought by a group of top Republican officials from 20 states. The panel could declare every section of the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, immediately jeopardizing the health coverage of the roughly 20 million Americans who obtained it through the ACA (most thanks to the expansion of Medicaid). Or it could just kill the insurance reforms that are intertwined with the individual mandate, threatening the ability of some 50 million Americans with preexisting conditions to obtain coverage down the road.
Either one of those outcomes would force GOP candidates to defend the attack on a law that grew more popular the closer congressional Republicans came to repealing it...."
Another reposted 7/9/19 opinion article link: "Chris Murphy: Trump’s health care sabotage will gut protections..."
A brief excerpt:
"...Upon taking office, President Trump and his allies in Congress pushed for a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act. They came close, but thanks to grassroots activism from people across the country and a few brave Republicans, the repeal effort ultimately failed. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop President Trump; he just shifted his efforts to the courts and executive actions to sabotage our health care system and weaken the protections established by the ACA.
.............................................................................................................................................................................
The Trump administration’s support for the lawsuit, brought by a handful of Republican states, to overturn the ACA in its entirety is its most aggressive and dangerous move yet, and it’s one that would put care for hundreds of thousands of Connecticut families in jeopardy..."
