YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSenators Joe Manchin (D-WV), Bob Casey (D-PA), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Patty Murray (D-WA) will announce a proposal to defend the constitutionality of the pre-existing condition protections under our current health law. After Congressional Republicans zeroed out the health insurance coverage requirement in their partisan tax legislation, the State of Texas and a coalition of 19 other states legally challenged the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, including the consumer protections for people with pre-existing conditions in a new suit: Texas vs. United States. Instead of defending the law and these vital health care protections, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice announced in June that, in keeping with their continued, politically-motivated efforts to sabotage the American health care system to the detriment of middle-class families across the country, they are abandoning their responsibility to defend the laws of our country, siding with the 20 states challenging our health law.
