Will They Rule In Favor Of The American People, Or Make The USSC All About Partisan Politics?
Records show a few months exploiting the illness and deaths caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by the billionaire class has enabled its members to make a tidy profit. The halls of U.S. government now echo with calls to find ways for major political contributors to further reap the financial benefits provided by the crisis.
These call do not go unheard by the conservative justices on the United States Supreme Court, who have already shown their respect for the United States Constitution is less than stellar. The question now becomes, will the Roberts' conservative majority put the needs of nearly half the U.S. population above partisan politics and the greed of the billionaire class?
The impeached president trump has been determined to steal health insurance coverage from tens-of-millions of Americans since taking office. And he has the full support of his devoted fanatics who fail to understand they will be hurt by this loss just as badly as progressives, liberals, people of color, and all other members of society despised by conservatives.
Today, May 6th, 2020, Democratic attorneys general and the House of Representatives will present arguments in the Supreme Court defending the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) against a lawsuit brought in 2018 by the Trump administration and Republican attorneys general to overturn the ACA and declare it unconstitutional.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, 20 million Americans would lose health coverage and 135 million people with pre-existing conditions would lose protections guaranteed to them by the law if the ACA were overturned. The frightening impact of these numbers is becoming very real during this public health crisis.
As the Covid-19 pandemic continues, it’s important we all (including conservatives) remember a few plain facts:
-The ACA protects people with pre-existing conditions. They cannot be denied coverage. Without the ACA millions would have gone into this crisis without any healthcare coverage. And those who have had Covid-19 and recovered cannot be refused health insurance or be charged higher premiums.
-Preventive care and other essential protections are covered under the ACA, especially for those with chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease. People have therefore been able to take care of their health, making them better able to survive the Covid-19 crisis.
-The ACA offers mental health benefits as one of its Essential Benefits, a crucial protection during the Covid-19 crisis.
-Under the ACA, health coverage has reached record levels. For instance, New York State expanded Medicaid under the ACA, and 95% of New Yorkers are now covered by health insurance. It offers subsidized health insurance in the state health marketplace (New York State of Health) and allows young people under 26 to remain on their parents’ health plans.
-The ACA saved tens of thousands of lives before the Covid-19 crisis. It has especially done so during the pandemic and will continue to protect us after. There could not be a worse time than now to end comprehensive coverage and healthcare protections for Americans.
If the impeached president trump’s corrupt cronies sitting on the Supreme Court bench reinterpret the Constitution to favor the billionaire class and Big Business as many expect, it’s only natural his devoted fanatics will be tickled pink. Living in their alternate reality, their conservative denial forces them to believe the impeached president trump will exempt them from the disastrous effects of the Supreme Court’s decision to end the many beneficial provisions of the ACA.
The impeached president trump’s devoted fanatics continually prove ignorance is bliss.
It goes without saying how gratifying it can be to see how apoplectic conservatives become when they read or hear the truth. As seen on these message boards, reasonable people have come to expect this. Just as reasonable people expect the constant conservative denial of reality seen here day in and day out. (The COVID-19 pandemic has really shown this to be true.)
So please, keep responding with your mindless, right wing criticisms and "alternative facts" (aka bullsh!t). By doing so, you consistently reaffirm these facts about yourselves, which makes it useless to respond to your conservative nonsense.
