The Trump admin. joins a coalition of Republican-led states Wednesday in asking a federal appeals court to entirely overturn Obamacare — a decision that could leave millions uninsured.
in asking a federal appeals court to entirely overturn former President Barack Obama's signature health care law — a decision that could leave millions uninsured.
If the ruling is allowed to stand, more than 20 million Americans would be at risk of losing their health insurance, re-igniting a winning political issue for Democrats heading into the 2020 elections. President Donald Trump, who never produced a health insurance plan to replace"Obamacare," is now promising one after the elections.The Trump administration acknowledged it had changed positions in the case.
The now-repealed fines enforce the law's insurance requirement, and without them the rest of the law cannot pass constitutional muster, the administration wrote. The appeals court is expected to hold oral arguments in July. Meanwhile, the effects of the lower court ruling have been on hold pending appeals.
Becerra was defiant Wednesday."Our legal coalition will vigorously defend the law and the Americans President Trump has abandoned," he said in a statement.
