Trump's smoke-and-mirrors 2020 health care strategy
President Trump may be telling voters everything that they want to hear when it comes to health care, but much of it isn't true.
Why it matters: Trump is claiming victories he hasn't achieved and making promises he's not prepared to live up to, all on an immensely personal subject that that voters consistently rank as one of the most important issues of 2020.
Trump's most demonstrably false claim is that, as he put it in May, “we will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions."
The Trump administration is currently urging the courts to strike down the Affordable Care Act, including its protections for pre-existing conditions.
Trump and congressional Republicans' efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act in 2017 didn't include the same level of protection as the ACA does, nor have they ever proposed a plan that would.
