House Democrats Will Move Hard on Health Care
January 2, 2019 at 9:46 am EST By Taegan Goddard

A congressional source tells Mike Allen that a key provision tucked in House Dems’ 14-page opening-day rules package focuses on the federal judge in Texas who struck down the ACA (which remains in effect during appeals).

” The provision authorizes the House counsel to intervene in the lawsuit on behalf of the House of Representatives, to try to protect people with pre-existing conditions, a popular and consequential feature of the ACA.”

“Next week, Democrats will hold an additional vote on a stand-alone resolution on intervening to defend protections for people with pre-existing conditions.”

2. good to hear

but personally I don't feel that protecting pre-existing conditions in the the ACA is "moving hard" on health care. particularly when you control half of Congress and can do nothing w/o the other half + the WH.
