1/ Rachel Maddow pointed out yesterday, Thurs. 11/1/18, just 5 days before the midterms, a Trump administration executive order takes effect & eliminates the Obamacare rule that insurance companies can't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions. Starting yesterday, they can. 
2/ In her ominous announcement, Rachel referenced the Wall Street Journal, & this quote: “This is also the first open-enrollment period under a Trump-administration change expanding access to cheaper plans that don’t cover the panoply of benefits mandated by the ACA. (con't)
3/ Those less-expensive plans can also deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.” Here is the article: The open-enrollment season is kicking off just before the congressional elections in which health care has emerged as a top issue for voters wsj.com/articles/healt…
4/ Although Trump & GOP candidates for the midterms deny such attacks on Obamacare protections, they are already on the record fighting like crazy to get rid of protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions. But, as Rachel says, "Nice try."
5/ The following series of articles reveal the self-serving lies regarding health care being pushed by Trump and the GOP ahead of the midterms. Trump said the GOP will "totally" protect people with pre-existing conditions. That is totally not true. huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-tw…
