Trump Regime SCOTUS Brief: Kill Obamacare!


The Lord of the Ramp and his malignant Party of Life afflict- the- afflicted party are trying to kill the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) (again), now in the midst of a resurgent pandemic:
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court late on Thursday to overturn the Affordable Care Act, telling the court that “the entire ACA must fall.” The administration’s argument comes as hundreds of thousands of Americans have turned to the government program for health care as they’ve lost jobs during the coronavirus pandemic.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) responded to the brief by saying there is “no moral excuse for the Trump Administration’s disastrous efforts to take away Americans’ health care." Dismantling the ACA would leave more than 23 million people without healthcare plans, according to a recent analysis by the liberal-leaning think tank Center for American Progress.
“President Trump and the Republicans’ campaign to rip away the protections and benefits of the Affordable Care Act in the middle of the coronavirus crisis is an act of unfathomable cruelty,” Pelosi, who on Wednesday filed a bill to expand the ACA, said in a statement.
The administration’s brief was filed in support of a challenge to the ACA by a coalition of Republican attorneys general, following through on Trump’s pledge last month to overturn President Obama’s landmark healthcare legislation.
The Trump brief is about what you'd expect -- pure chewy, malicious wingnut.  But don't just take our word for it:

  

  

 

 
 
Regardless of when and however the Court eventually decides, this will be the main issue for the November election, much as it was in 2018.  The lines have been drawn and this issue alone is enough to make clear which party is trying to protect the general health and welfare of our country, and which one is not.
