Trump's health overhaul efforts hit legal roadblocks

Key aspects of President Trump's health care agenda are struggling to overcome legal challenges in the courts.

The administration, unable to repeal ObamaCare or enact conservative changes through Congress, has used its regulatory authority to try to push through changes to the Medicaid program and private insurance.

Many of those efforts have fallen short when faced with legal challenges.

The administration was dealt major blows this past week when two of Trump’s signature policies — Medicaid work requirements and association health plans — were struck down in separate rulings.

The rulings are a setback to the administration’s efforts to aggressively push ahead with conservative health policies. Combined with political opposition from Democrats in the House, they put the president’s health agenda in a precarious position heading into the 2020 election.

They've had years to come up with a replacement plan & they have squat. McConnell was smart to tell Trump he's on his own on this cuz McConnell knows they don't have any fucking plan at all. Covering pre-existing conditions & letting your kids stay on your policy is hugely popular.

For purely selfish reasons, why wouldn't you want the people you share your common space with, at grocery stores, at the library, in the park, to be as healthy as possible? Why would you risk the entire community's welfare for the cost of medical care for your fellow townsmen? I asked my rw cousin this & never got an answer.
