Trump’s latest plan to kill Obamacare rattles Republicans
The Trump administration’s decision to back an effort to invalidate the entire Affordable Care Act stunned legal and health care experts, baffled political pundits, thrilled Democrats and rattled Republicans.
Axios reports that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Trump he disagrees with the administration’s attempt to get the entire ACA invalidated and that the Justice Department’s decision makes no sense. The administration’s decision immediately shifted the political focus away from the Mueller report’s findings and back onto an issue that has been immensely beneficial to Democrats. As Bloomberg’s Sahil Kapur notes, CNN exit polls found that health care was the top issue for 2018 voters and the 41 percent who cited it preferred Democrats to Republicans by a huge 75 percent to 23 percent margin.
The administration’s decision also met with resistance inside Trump’s cabinet, as Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Attorney General William Barr both opposed it, Politico's Eliana Johnson and Burgess Everett report. Trump, however, sided with Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and others in the administration who favored the move.The president may be looking to shore up a GOP weak spot ahead of the 2020 elections.
