What to Know About Preexisting Conditions If ACA Is Repealed

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has protected the health insurance coverage of millions of people with preexisting health conditions like asthma, diabetes, and sleep apnea, as well as pregnancy, cancer, and obesity.

The pre-existing condition coverage mandated under the ACA saves lives.

Once Again, the Trump Administration Tries to Take Away Your Health Care

Nearly 21 million Americans could lose coverage if courts declare the entire Affordable Care Act unconstitutional.

It’s happening again. The Trump administration is attacking the Affordable Care Act (the ACA, or Obamacare). Only this time, the approach isn’t piecemeal, and it doesn’t arrive via Congress. Instead, it’s a full-on effort to repeal the entire health care law by declaring it unconstitutional.

Specifically, the Department of Justice, under the guidance of the Trump administration, issued a letter to a federal appeals court stating that it believes all the provisions of the ACA are invalid and that the court should toss out the law.

GOP Lies About Pre-Existing Conditions May Have Reached Peak Absurdity

Republicans are desperate to fool the public about what they did ― and would still do.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday sent out another tweet on health care. “Republicans will totally protect people with Pre-Existing Conditions,” he wrote. “Democrats will not!”

By now, the fundamental dishonesty of that statement shouldn’t require explanation.

Anybody even dimly aware of recent history ― specifically, the part where Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act, only to have Republicans spend eight years trying to repeal it ― should recognize the claim as a lie.

And anybody unfamiliar with that saga could simply have paid attention this week, when the Trump administration announced a major reinterpretation of the Affordable Care Act’s insurance rules. The change means that states can undermine some of the law’s key provisions that help people with serious medical problems.
