Trump fights uphill GOP battle on pre-existing conditions

Trump is stepping up his efforts to protect Republicans from Democratic attacks that people with pre-existing conditions will be in danger of losing their health coverage under GOP control of Washington.

The Democratic attacks have been effective and put Republicans on defense following years in which a GOP Congress sought to repeal ObamaCare, which made protections for people with pre-existing conditions a part of U.S. law.

Trump’s first year in office was also focused on repealing ObamaCare, and his administration has supported a lawsuit that would overturn the health-care law’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions, preventing them from being denied coverage or charged more.

Yet on Wednesday, Trump was insisting it was the GOP that would protect pre-existing conditions, and Democrats who would not.

It's just junk insurance. They say people with preexisting conditions/older/women will get coverage. But their policies are not required to cover those preexisting conditions, have very low lifetime caps and still charge both preexisting conditions, women, aging people MORE,way more.


Democrats need to state this simply and clearly to their voters. Trumpcare is Junkcare. It makes Insurance Companies Death Panels,

Trump's Junkcare also is a massive threat to medicare, delivering more & more untreated/illtreated patients as they age in.
