The Supreme Court could be Trump's ACA nightmare

The Supreme Court could be Trump's ACA nightmare

"SNIP....

The Supreme Court’s next big Affordable Care Act case could be a huge political problem for President Trump.

Why it matters: The Trump administration will spend the next several months urging the court to strip away some 20 million people’s health insurance and to throw out protections for pre-existing conditions. And it may all come to a head just before Election Day.

Driving the news: The court said yesterday that it will hear the challenge filed by Republican attorneys general, and supported by the Trump administration, that aims to strike down the entire ACA.

The move was a surprise: Machinations in the lower courts had seemed likely to push a Supreme Court appeal well past the election.

But the Supremes are a bunch of right wing tools so yeah, Trump will get to take away people's healthcare before the election.

So, buckle up, Trump is trying to ruin as much of the US as he can before he gets voted out. Putin must be very happy. All these Americans dying without firing a shot.
