A pre-existing obsession – IOTW Report

A pre-existing obsession

American Spectator:

Democrats are so desperate to torpedo Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court that they’re resorting to scare tactics, telling Americans that his confirmation would put 130 million people at risk of losing their health insurance.

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) says Democrats can sink Kavanaugh by showing how his appointment will lead to a court majority that “repeals ACA with its protections for pre-existing conditions.” It’s demagoguery. And it’s working, as demagoguery too often does.

Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), a frequent Trump ally, is already moaning that the SCOTUS appointment will determine if “West Virginians with pre-existing conditions will lose their healthcare.” 

Not true. Even if the Supreme Court does strike down the ACA someday, the era of insurance companies turning down applicants with health problems is over. Across the country, Republican and Democratic state lawmakers agree on that. They are busy devising smarter ways to protect people with pre-existing conditions and keep insurance affordable, with or without Obamacare. Not one of these plans throws people with health problems under the bus. Democrats’ rhetoric about losing coverage for pre-existing conditions is hysteria.

  1. He should amend his obsession with the dnc’s new slogan: ‘for the people”
    It ain’t gonna happen, but it would be for the people, because the corrupt bastiches in congress don’t have the same insurance as anyone else. No, they have a ‘special’ insurance because they are special. And lucky us- we get to pay for it for them.
    sorry chuck. you’re a pre-existing condition and need to be exempted.

  2. The words “pre existing condition” are nowhere in the Constitution. Neither is steamship, sailboat, aircraft, or computer. Stick with what is written in the Foundation Documents,
    Jackasses!!!!
