WASHINGTON - The Trump administration formally declared its opposition to the entire Affordable Care Act on Wednesday , arguing in a federal appeals court filing that the signature Obama-era legislation was unconstitutional and should be struck down.
The filing was made in a case challenging the law brought by Mr Ken Paxton, the Attorney-General of Texas, and officials in 17 other Republican-led states. The government's brief did not shed light on why it had altered its earlier position, referring only to"further consideration and review of the district court's opinion."
Democrats, seizing on the health law's popularity and its decisive role in their winning the House last fall, are already using the case as a cudgel against President Donald Trump as his re-election campaign gets started.
