Trump wants in the midst of a pandemic at the end Care. This is a great gift Biden

Amid protests and the pandemic, forget it, it will be assigned to the Affordable Care Act it is still in limbo. But the events of last week have to face the stage for the Democrats and Republicans in the edition 2020 of the struggle for health coverage: between the party that he is, and the party that takes. The administration asked Trump to overturn the Supreme Court on June 25, the law is known as Obamacare, a group of Republican attorneys general in relation to argue that Congress effectively made the ACA unconstitutional in 2017, when he set the single mandate zero, the ACA has two previous supreme Court has survived challenges, including a 5-4 government in 2012, to keep the law when Chief Justice John Roberts ruled the individual mandate under the control of the Congress the power to levy was constitutional. Now the law must face an existential threat right for the third time in its 10-year history. “Everything has to fall ACA then the individual mandate,” he wrote Attorney General Noel Francisco in the short board. The challenge of administration Trump’s law, as the crown pandemic leaving more than 120,000 dead and millions Americans dropped from health functions for lost jobs. If the court decides to overturn the law, crimp the effects of almost every part of the US health care system. Mining law would worsen racial differences and make it harder for the sick at a time to obtain new coverage if COVID-19 black and Latino Americans proportional effect and leaving hundreds of thousands of potentially permanent health problems. It would also leave 23 million Americans without health insurance, according to an analysis of the liberal Center for American Progress think tank. The Supreme Court has not said when it will hear the case ACA, but hearing is scheduled for next fall to make as president Donald Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden their case to voters. Democrats believe Trump’s decision to increase the fight game health coverage to their advantage, as it did in 2018 midterms, when the party tried the House of Representatives, with the help of the Republicans regained Affordable Care Act to dismantle. “Everyone knows that Trump and the attacks on the health of the GOP have been a driving force behind the energy that the blue wave in 2018. Trump is now there is molded in the fight against the Affordable Care Act in the garbage and with a shrug shoulders replace “Ezra Levin, co-founder of the liberal basic network says indivisible. “We welcome this bad political behavior, and makes it easier for Biden just stand against death and destruction, that is, you know, a message from the successful campaign.” Biden saw this message in a speech last week in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. “Perhaps the most cruel thing altogether when Donald Trump could be on his way, complications COVID-19 is a new pre-existing condition,” Biden said after a panel discussion with the voters of Pennsylvania who said they had benefited from the Affordable Care Act. he added that without the ACA, lung scarring and damage to the heart from COVID-19 could make it difficult to get coverage for the future survivors. “They live their lives trapped in a vice between Donald Trump twin legacies. To protect its failure, the American people from the crown and her heartless cross protection health care to American families to take” The contrast simplicity is a gift for Biden. During the primaries, Biden fought sometimes articulating a message of success for health care, in the middle of a massive intra-party dispute over whether to push or not eligible for Medicare for all. Now he seems ready to carry on the same playbook that helped the Democrats to win swing states in the midterm elections: supporting Republicans trying to take American health care, as he would protect them. tilt pushing the ACA was a Republican goal since the law first passed in 2010, and against the health law has fueled the rise of the Tea Party during the Obama presidency. But they have benefited in recent years for tests and Democrats care more than Republicans as more accustomed to the law to protect the Americans. One said in June poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation that 53% of Americans Biden health policy, family compared to only 38% to handle that Donald Trump family. It is one of the reasons why the Republicans have fought so hard in the past to avoid the creation of new social programs that once you are given a benefit for the American people, it is very difficult to take it away. While it was initially unpopular, Americans have warmed the Affordable Care Act: with its 10th anniversary, 55% of Americans consider positively cure, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, an all time high. The pandemic has only underlined its importance. It dropped by nearly 27 million people, health insurance if they lost their jobs until early May, estimated the Kaiser Family Foundation, 48% were eligible for coverage through Medicaid, which was expanded under the ‘ ACA, and another 31% were eligible helping them make new plans on the market. People use these opportunities have taken. The Trump brief administration came the same day as a report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the use of special enrollment period 487,000 Americans purchased insurance revealed that opens when people lose their health insurance, and most of the states that have run their own markets also adds 19 new COVID-specific enrollment periods, thus get more people covered. Without the ACA, fewer people would be coverage through Medicaid, and many would be better suited to low and middle income families who struggle to buy insurance. Protections would disappear for those with pre-existing conditions, as would requirements that insurance companies sell to anyone and they pay the same price anyone wants to buy such insurance. All this would be worse for people of color. The ACA clearly racial and ethnic gaps and coverage over the years, reduced after its adoption, although the gains slowed when Trump was elected in 2016, but now that black, Hispanic and Native Americans are dying and when white COVID -19 to higher rates hospitalized Americans emphasize the doctors that health insurance is more important than ever. “Trump deadly move comes at a time when there was so much work to do. The same data Trump administration has shown this week that American blacks are four times more likely to COVID-19 in the hospital. What engages the differences are aware the fact that we were all now “California Attorney general Xavier Becerra, who leads the group of democratic states in the fight against the ACA to obtain, on June 24, told reporters,” is not the time to do our best tool to tear very real and very deadly health inequalities in our communities the address set. “the Republicans do not have a health plan alternative to replace the ACA forwards. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told CNN recently Jake Tapper that the administration would protect those with pre-existing conditions, but that peculiarities in the air were still standing. “The exact details will be on the open-dependent break down the composition of the Congress, if and when the Supreme Court has all or most of Obamacare,” said Azar. But voters do not respond well to remove American plans without a concrete health care plan to replace them. They may balk even during a global pandemic. And Biden is definitely forgotten voters will not which party is fighting the good fight health coverage and on which side to protect them.
