Trump Pushing to Eliminate Obamacare

Trump has been pushing to eliminate the Affordable Care Act from day one as have virtually all of the elected Republicans in the country.  Trump hates it because Obama's name is on it.  Republicans hate it because it is good public policy that helps a lot of people who aren't millionaires and billionaires.  

Late on Thursday, the Trump administration filed its brief with the Supreme Court to challenge the Affordable Care Act (ACA) when the court hears the case this fall. Just before the election. In a pandemic. And they took the protections provided in the law head-on, explicitly arguing that the provision that prevents insurance companies from discriminating against people with preexisting conditions must be tossed, along with the entirety of the law.

Trump and the Republicans don't have an alternative.  If the ACA gets tossed all of the positive aspects that vast majorities of Americans favor will be tossed as well.  It would be tragic if the ACA was destroyed at any time, but in the middle of a global pandemic taking away the health insurance of millions of Americans would be a criminal act.
