GOP on defense to explain pre-existing condition protections

Source: AP

JEFFERSON CITY (AP) — In ads and speeches, Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill is pounding Missouri voters with a single message: Her Republican challenger wants to end health insurance protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

The Republican, Attorney General Josh Hawley, says it's not true and has been forced to defend himself.

Virtually the same campaign is playing out across the country in numerous races for Congress and governor, as Democrats flip the script on Republicans who ran and won in previous elections on promises to repeal former President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

At issue is a federal lawsuit filed in Texas by Republican attorneys general representing 20 states. It seeks to repeal Obama's health care overhaul in its entirety.

They have no policies and won't be able to defend with anything other than rhetoric and that's not going to fly with those of us who need affordable health care. And those of us (like me) with pre existing conditions.

And then tries to tell people in Missouri they'll somehow still have pre-existing coverage with whoever you go with after the ACA is dead and gone.

who says they want to keep protections for pre-existing conditions says nothing about those protections preventing the insurers from charging higher premiums for it, and its rarely ever challenged by the interviewer.

his two perfect sons (like the rest of us don't have kids either) that one of them has pre-existing conditions that require the use of the ACA, then signs up w/ the rest of the republican traitors/AGs to dismantle the ACA.

Hypocrite. Liar. Caught in a lie again.
