The Trump administration opened a new assault on Americans' health care yesterday by telling a federal appeals court that the entire law should be struck down.
It's a sickening attack on people with pre-existing conditions, seniors, and young people. cnn.com/2019/03/25/pol…

The move is a dramatic escalation on the attacks on Obamacare in the courts, even for the Trump administration. Under Jeff Sessions, the Justice Department had argued some parts of the law could stand. Now, all of the law's protections will be at the mercy of conservative judges.
If Republicans prevail in court:
- 20 million people will lose coverage
- Protections for pre-existing conditions will be gone
- Young people won't be able to stay on their parents' plans until age 26
- Limits on coverage will return
- Caps on out-of-pocket expenses will be gone
- 20 million people will lose coverage
- Protections for pre-existing conditions will be gone
- Young people won't be able to stay on their parents' plans until age 26
- Limits on coverage will return
- Caps on out-of-pocket expenses will be gone
Unsurprisingly, this was a lie:
What can we do?
Make sure your representatives are holding the administration accountable for this attack on our health care; organize to build political support for more coverage for more people.
Health care is a human right, and we can realize that right in America.
