NEW POLL: Protections for Pre-Existing Conditions a Top Priority for Most Americans

Today, a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll reveals an overwhelming majority of American voters believe health care is a top issue and protecting provisions preventing discrimination against the 130 million Americans with pre-existing conditions is one of their highest priorities.

Republicans, are you paying attention?!

Despite plunging public support for the GOP Tax Scam for the rich – which ransacks the future of our children to hand massive handouts to big corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent – Republicans have gone as far as using the tax scam's attacks on key Affordable Care Act provisions to justify a lawsuit to destroy protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions.

Los Angeles Times: Got a preexisting condition? The Trump administration wants insurers to deny you coverage

The Trump administration is urging a federal judge in Texas to throw out the law's protections for people with preexisting conditions … In other words, the administration wants insurers to be able to deny coverage to the people most in need of it, or to charge them considerably higher premiums than they're allowed to charge today.

This is jaw-dropping. Even Republicans who've complained about Obamacare have been loath to undo the protections for people with preexisting conditions who are not covered by large employers' health plans. That's because the public supports them, and unequivocally so.

It's time Republicans actually listen to the American people (who they were elected to represent) and stop their sabotage of Americans' health care.

While the GOP pushes its raw deal on hard-working families across the country, Democrats fight for A Better Deal: Better Jobs, Better Wages, and a Better Future for everyone.
