Trump administration asks Supreme Court to strike down Obamacare amid pandemic, recession
"The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to wipe out Obamacare, arguing that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and that the rest of the law must be struck down with it.
The
late-night brief, filed Thursday in the middle of the
coronavirus pandemic, carries major implications for the presidential election.
If the justices agree, it would cost an estimated 20 million Americans their insurance coverage and nullify protections for pre-existing conditions.
The Trump administration’s brief comes as the U.S. has recorded more than
120,000 deaths from COVID-19, with nearly 2.5 million confirmed cases. On Wednesday, the nation hit a new record for the highest daily total of new infections reported with more than 45,500."

I'm sure most of us remember how Capt. Clorox said how easy it would be to replace the ACA with a plan that would cover more people with great benefits for less money. It was going to be beautiful. But where is the plan?
"WASHINGTON — Health care was already a vulnerability for President Donald Trump before the
coronavirus pandemic hit. Now his
lack of a plan to fix the system is coming under a new microscope as the crisis costs many Americans their coverage and overwhelms providers.
The clarity in Trump's health care vision begins and ends with repealing the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, also known as Obamacare. His budget proposals would strip away funding for the law, and he has endorsed a lawsuit to wipe it off the books. But the president hasn't thrown his weight behind a replacement bill or even an outline, and he has rejected calls to reopen
Obamacare for enrollment during the current crisis."

As I said in an earlier thread, Trump is speaking to you members of The Following. He is telling you he is unfit to be prez because while he basks in your glorification of him he is showing you his disregard for the well being of 20M of your fellow citizens and anyone with a pre-existing condition.
