Plenty of time for the 5th circuit to hear this case and issue a decision before Nov 2020…
RE: Texas v. United States, No. 19-10011 (5th Cir.)
Dear Mr. Cayce:
The Department of Justice has determined that the district court’s judgment should be affirmed. Because the United States is not urging that any portion of the district court’s judgment be reversed, the government intends to file a brief on the appellees’ schedule.
Yep get rid of the ACA lets go back to the old system where asthma is a pre existing condition and Aetna was kicking people off their plan 50k a month at a time
I’m gonna laugh my ass off if the older republicans here, with pre existing conditions, lose their coverage or the premiums get jacked up massively. Because they voted for this.
And tons of republicans are definitely older Americans with pre existing conditions.
And I don’t know if you guys realize this or not but Trump and the people he’s nominated to key positions in our government don’t have to worry about health insurance like you guys do.
My health insurance was far less expensive before the ACA and you didn’t have to wait six weeks to get an appointment.
I can afford health insurance or even pay out of pocket if I had to. But, even if I couldn’t, that wouldn’t mean I would think it was right to make other people pay my bills.
Even if the ACA was repealed I do not see pre-existing conditions making a return for self funded plans. Even before the ACA the trend was to eliminate pre-existing voluntarily because the administration cost many times eliminated any cost savings. It also caused huge provider abrasion as payment could be delayed for up to 2 years while a pre-ex investigation was completed, not to mention the abrasion with employees and the cost to the employer of additional missed work.
My parents had a plan that worked for them, in their 50s, when Obamacare was passed. However, since Obama straight up lied, my parents couldn’t keep their plan because it didn’t include maternity coverage. For my parents in their 50s. Over the next five years they had to change plans four times due to the ever changing requirements of that ridiculous law. And they’re paying nearly double what they did before Obamacare. My dad recently retired but was self-employed and made too much for subsidies, so their quality of life took a hit. He ended up working a few more years because of it.
■■■■ Obamacare and Democrats who didn’t and don’t give a ■■■■ about people like my parents.
It is a shame your parents struggled under Obamacare. That was very unfair to them. Where as it hurt your parents, it had saved many, many lives. That’s just a fact.
You should focus your anger at the Republicans and Joe Lieberman who took the build option off the table and didn’t need work to make it better.
Anecdotes aside, those supporting this should be very happy with this development. Maybe the ruling will stand and the GOP can run on being the party that eliminated the ACA. Should be popular with the electorate…
