Biden and Harris argue that Democrats will preserve health care and Republicans would take it away

[post]

It's a lie. Trump publicly said he would not seek to overturn the ACA.

Fair enough, but his plan was to replace it with something better.


That was 20 states, not Trump.


Obamacare was back-loaded to make Obama look good, but 10 years later the bills would come due. Trump refusing to do Obama's dirty work is not "trying to overturn" Obamacare.

And Trump did zero out the penaltax. That was a good thing!


Are you quite sure about that? He said this yesterday.

How many times do people have to be reminded that the ACA is not healthcare for it to sink in?

You seem to be in total denial. Trump argued, quite strenuously, all the way to the Supreme Court that because of his tax law the SCOTUS had to bring back pre-existing condition exclusions and toss the whole rest of the ACA out.

Trump vows complete end of Obamacare law despite pandemic

President Trump said Wednesday he will continue trying to toss out all of the Affordable Care Act, even as some in his administration, including Attorney General William P. Barr, have privately argued parts of the law should be preserved amid a pandemic.

“We want to terminate health care under Obamacare,” Trump told reporters Wednesday, the last day for his administration to change its position in a Supreme Court case challenging the law. “Obamacare, we run it really well. . . . But running it great, it’s still lousy health care.”

Trump’s declaration caps months of debate within his administration about the best course of action, in which the stakes have only become greater now that the nation’s health-care system is struggling to deal with the spread of the coronavirus, which has killed more than 70,000 Americans.

On Monday, Barr attended a meeting of senior officials in which he argued the administration should temper its opposition to Obamacare, leaving some parts of the law intact, according to people familiar with the discussion, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the conversation was private.

The case before the court was brought by a group of Republican states, and as part of that case, the Trump administration is seeking to invalidate the entire Affordable Care Act, which passed in 2010 and became one of President Barack Obama’s most significant legislative victories.

Others in his administration wanted to take a more moderate tack, but Trump insisted in asking the SCOTUS to terminate the entire ACA.

Are you quite sure about that? He said this yesterday.

He's lying. His public position in this campaign is that the GOP should "never give up" on trying to terminate the ACA. That in fact matches his record in office, even if he's suddenly pretending to backpedal this week.

Lots of people want to talk about Trump's plans to repeal the ACA, cut Medicaid and Medicare, and carry pharma's water by repealing Medicare's new drug price negotiation authority.

Not according to the link I gave you.

It's better than what people get in red states.

He thinks the ACA is just a website. Fourteen years in, righties are still clueless.
