Wanted to share a little about the lawsuit that AG Hawley filed that would eliminate protections for preexisting conditions for millions of Americans, including kids like ours. Feel free to follow along. 1/
Here's the first page of the lawsuit seeking to declare our health care protections unconstitutional. AG Hawley didn't have to join this lawsuit, but he chose to, on behalf of his state. 2/ 
Here's the part that says the #ACA protects #PreExistingConditions, makes sure people can't be charged more for them, and requires that insurers cover essential health benefits.
That's the part that keeps our kids alive and our families out of bankruptcy. 3/

🔥Most effective line of attack Dems have against GOP candidates for governor/House/Senate in the 20 states below?🔥
...they're all part of a lawsuit that allows insurance companies to STOP covering constituents w/preexisting medical conditions.
To them, GOP says "DIE mad."
...they're all part of a lawsuit that allows insurance companies to STOP covering constituents w/preexisting medical conditions.
To them, GOP says "DIE mad."
States SPECIFICALLY ASKED Judge Reed O’Connor to strike down parts of the law that prohibit health insurance companies from refusing to cover people w/ pre-existing health conditions.

GOP voters must be made to understand that their leaders (including GOP candidates) are so determined to dismantle Obamacare they are perfectly willing to WATCH THEIR VOTERS DIE and/or lose every single penny the voters worked so hard for. politi.co/2kUc0UE

In June of 2018, the Trump Administration said it would not defend the #ACA and actually AGREED in part with the plaintiffs, arguing that protections for people with #PreExistingConditions should be overturned.

Friends, today's developments with regard to our health care made crystal clear #WhatsAtStake, the need to #StopKavanaugh, and the need to be a #HealthCareVoter this November.
Here's a quick explainer thread on what happened, and where we go from here. (1/)
Here's a quick explainer thread on what happened, and where we go from here. (1/)
In Texas today, a judge heard arguments on the lawsuit brought by several GOP State AGs and the Trump Administration to declare the #ACA, including #PreExistingConditions protections, unconstitutional. That judge seemed prepared to do just that. (2/)

If that one judge rules to strike down #PreExistingConditions protections, millions of Americans - including those of us with medically complex kids - would be at risk of losing health care.
Such a decision would be appealed, and could ultimately land at the Supreme Court. (3/)

The American people are confronted with a #GOP Congress and Administration that are relentlessly ransacking the futures of American families and seniors, all to further enrich their lobbyist and special interest friends, big corporations and the wealthiest one percent. /1
From health care, to taxes, to good-paying jobs, to critical consumer protections, President Trump and the #Republican Congress are selling out the American people at every turn: /2 #ARawDeal #CultureOfCorruption #RepublicanGreed
#Democrats must be ready to drive home our case to the American people about how a Democratic majority will fight For The People:/3 #ForAll #ForThePeople #ABetterDeal #PrincipledDemocraticLeadership
⚠️ GRAPHICS-HEAVY THREAD: Next week, the #TexasFoldEm lawsuit brought by 20 Republican Attorneys General against the #ACA goes to court. The Trump Administration is refusing to defend against it even though it EVERY legal expert says it’s a pile of steaming garbage. 1/
2/ If the #TexasFoldEm plaintiffs succeed, federal protections for those w/#PreExistingConditions would be gone. Not just on the individual market…people w/EMPLOYER coverage would be at risk as well, especially since most people are out of a job at least once in their lives.
3/ Here’s a reminder of the idiotic “argument” the #TexasFoldEm plaintiffs are using:
1. SCOTUS ruled the #ACA mandate is only Constitutional because it’s a tax.
2. The GOP repealed the mandate tax.
3. Therefore, they get to repeal the rest of the #ACA as well.
Really. That’s it.

@ppppolls (cont)
By an overwhelming 25 points (59/34), people want Congress to "keep what works and fix what doesn't" in the ACA, not repeal it.
That margin grows to 32 points (62/30) with independents

Under The Affordable Care Act, Health insurers can NOT charge more or deny coverage to you or your dependents on your insurance b/c of #PreExistingConditions of ANY kind.

As expected, Trump has chosen an extremist for the Supreme Court who can & would undermine:
-Healthcare as a right, not a privilege
-Reproductive rights
-Voting rights
-Workers' rights
-Consumer rights
-A safe environment

A woman's right to choose is in jeopardy. A full repeal may or may not be attempted soon, but Roe v. Wade will be chipped away at.

1. Simply put, the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution, which involves every aspect of our lives—how we conduct ourselves in society and boundaries for individuals and the government. Trump will surely nominate someone who aligns with his alt-right ideology. #WhatsAtStake
2. Women’s health. It’s not just about reproductive freedom!! It’s access to birth control, equal insurance pricing, equal access to care, and protection in the workplace. #WhatsAtStake

6 months ago, House Republicans passed their Tax Scam for the rich, which ransacked the future of our children to hand massive handouts to big corporations and the wealthiest 1 percent./2 #GOPTaxScam #GOPCorruption #GOPGreed
Now, the GOP’s true cynicism is on full display, as Republicans are using the tax scam’s attacks on key ACA provisions to justify a lawsuit to destroy protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions./3 #ProtectOurCare #PreExistingConditions #GOPTaxScam
