Here's who will lose their insurance if Obamacare is overturned

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Affordable Care Act once again faces legal hurdles after President Donald Trump and his administration supported a lawsuit questioning the health-care law's constitutionality.

If the lawsuit succeeds and the courts decide to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, millions of Americans could lose their health care if a replacement plan is not established. Though Trump wanted to replace the law with a new Republican plan before the 2020 elections, the GOP refused to bring forward its own proposal until it wins a majority in the House of Representatives.

The Department of Justice on Wednesday asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit to overturn Obamacare after a federal judge in Texas ruled the law unconstitutional, citing the removal of a tax penalty levied against citizens without health insurance. The Trump administration reduced the tax penalty, called the individual mandate, to $0 in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Though Obamacare remains law while it awaits deliberation in the courts, about 25 million Americans may be left uninsured if the law is struck down in its entirety.

2. They have no plan. Let them die is their plan.

Evil fuckers, every one. It's impacted my ability to converse with anyone I know who still identifies with this horrid party.

There is no way I could afford the policy I currently have without a tax credit. I would end up with one of those why-even-bother plans that will bankrupt me should anything significant happen, like a broken leg, much less anything worse.

3. The rethug Plan: Why aren't you dead yet you cancer riddled mooching SOB?

That about sums it up.

4. It'll ensure his loss in next election. Why's he being so stupid?

6. I think the optimum scenario for Trump

is that he can dangle unresolved court actions out there "a work in progress" that serves as a dog whistle to those who want all evidence of President Obama erased. He sees that as winning votes in 2020.

If all those people losing access to insurance and/or healthcare following 2020 kick the bucket, neither he nor his monied backers care. His pals in Eurasia working to manipulate the electoral system? They are only in favor of chaos so what works to that end suits them.

If Trump and all his accomplices can continue to pack the courts and chisel away at the rule of law and democracy, it's all moot anyway.
