Spoiler, they don’t

They do not want to protect the people at all. They care about themselves and it stops there.

Hint: they don't.

Preexisting conditions sometimes includes self-inflicted problems... Should we be paying for other people's bad decisions?

I think I already have the answer to that thanks tho

REPUBLICANS DON'T WANT TO PROTECT PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS THEY WANT THE ACA GONE COMPLETELY THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH REPUBLICANS IS TO COMPLETELY STRIP THEM OF POWER DEM PRESIDENT, DEM SENATE,DEM HOUSE IS THE SOLUTION LEAVE THEM POWERLESS IN WASHINHTON.

Rather than making it work and kicking the lobbyist insurance companies into line or taking over the insurance game plan all together for the benefit of all Americans, the GOP wants to do away with a plan just because it is attached to the Obama administration. Shameful indeed.

Put up or shut up, Republicans.

i dont get why its so hard to sacrifice a bit of your income for afforable health care.

AARP promotes pet care just as bad as their health care & life insurance.Yet govt allows them to sell.For shame

Why in God’s name would a woman vote for republican numb nuts

Their ads will hang their future if they vote against ACA. Believe me Nancy knows how to get yes votes on health care‼️Fixing the ACA will be on top their list of todo things.

They don’t care because their benefactors don’t.

ACA is not in peril. One dumbass texass judge does not change that. Actual journalism would be better wp

Good bye shit law. RIPObamacare

ACA only covered pre-existing conditions if you qualified for MEDICAID. MILLIONS forced to buy Obamacare had NO COVERAGE AT ALL. Deductibles couldn't be met due to astronomical costs. DON'T BE LIARS, WaPo. GOP will fix this now that SenJohnMcCain is dead. GOPLeader RandPaul

WOW I WONDER IF THEY WILL DO THAT

Why are you even entertaining the notion that they do? After all these years of their cruelty and duplicity? Are you that dense?

Actually, House Democrats will

In peril? Federal Judge just ruled it unconstitutional! That’s more like death -than peril!

Big reveal ... they don’t.

I see the bar has moved nicely for the left. ACA was a fucking dumpster fire

Now we shall see what our lying President and the coward Mitch McConnell will propose to help Americans under siege by unaffordable healthcare costs! My guess, NOTHING! They and their cohorts say they care but they do not. The proof is in their actions.

No, actually it’ll have to be the Dems where the bill we be originated or not with their majority. Bit nice try.

Wake up people! The GOP doesn’t care. They HAVE benefits.

Take a deep breath. It will all be worked out. I hope we are not exploitoing the elderly here (pink hat). Don't want to take your health care away. Remember, nothing is free and people do have to pay, that is how it works.

Really? After 71 attempts to abolish the ACA you still need to ask that question?

Don't expect too much from the Republicans that look the other way when Trump's policies let a 7 year old child die from needing water and a Tylenol.

We can have coverage for pre existing conditions without obamacare, it’s called competition

This will pave the way for Medicare for all. Republucan Party better have it’s end-of-life wishes in order.

Was WaPo's Analysis a dodge? WaPo confirms they were too busy bashing Trump to worry about the ramifications pf the tax law. Now neatly sidestepping the Legacy continuum they move past the Democrats refusing to help in reforming the act to do a self serving your problem.

That would be a hard no. They are insistent on taking healthcare away from millions of people simply because Barack Obama gave it to them.

Just have to win the White House, the Senate, and the House in 2020!

They don't.

They have no plans and would be able to agree on anything anyway.

Narrator:

Is this really a whole analysis on the question of whether or not the party that has spent 8 years trying to eliminate preexisting conditions protections wants to protect people with preexisting conditions? I’ll save you some paper, ahem (*clears through*) NO.

No, the entire Congress needs to do their jobs to create a bipartisan therefore nonpolitical program devoid of lobbyist influence. Both the previous and ACA were lacking in their objectives for this important public issue. Can Congress actually do their job for America ?

Its not in peril of we still have an independent judiciary.

If you have a preexisting condition you should pay more for your increased care.

Republicans may wanna seek mental health treatment themselves cause it's sickening to hurt people and then pretend you want to help them.

(Ron Howard voice): They don’t.

SPOILER: They don’t. They want money - just like the Russians and Saudis that sponsored them and their leader.

Analysis. They don't care. They've been trying to repeal Obamacare from day one despite individual mandate being Heritage idea to get people to act for personal responsibility. This ruling ignores precedent, basic legal doctrines and is right wing judicial activism.

The Republicans have been trying to abolish this over the last 2 years

Spoiler alert: they don't.

They don’t.

They don't, they won't and I'm too tired to fight anymore.

Does anyone not already know the answer this?

They don’t.

The Trump administration unveils a stealth attack on people with preexisting conditionsTrump administration officials apparently are prepared to go to their graves insisting that they did everything possible to protect Americans with preexisting medical conditions, even as they pull out the stops to undermine those protections. That's the GOP approach to healthcare, make sure it's designed for the healthy, young and wealthy. Real people who actually need healthcare should die quickly and stop complaining People with pre-existing conditions by definition didn't buy health insurance when they were healthy. Doesn't seem right they get in the pool just in time to suck it dry after everyone else did without to get the pool full. I hope all his stupid supporters get f-ing blindsided and that their families suffers mostly from these preexisting condition changes by the Trump administration

What Federal Courts -- And Obamacare's Architects -- Don't Get About Pre-Existing ConditionsLast Friday, a federal judge in Fort Worth, Texas opine that the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional. The judge’s ruling in the case hinges on a misunderstanding of how to cover people with pre-existing conditions that’s shared by courts, journalists, and even Obamacare’s architects. Everyone gets sick at one time or another, if one is healthy today that doesn’t mean he or she will remain that way. Btw from the example in the article Kathy’s behavior is by choice, justifying the higher premium. People don’t chose to get sick. ACA considered that.
