GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill concede they do not have safety net legislation ready to catch the millions of Americans who would find themselves suddenly without health insurance during a potential second coronavirus wave.

"We need to have a plan in place to make sure that people don't lose coverage," said Senator Mitt Romney .

"It's not something we've talked much about lately," said Senator John Cornyn , a member of leadership."There's not going to be an all-of-government-plan to cover all the ACA, but we're going to make it possible for people to have choices to buy what they want at a price they can afford because there's not going to be an all-government-plan like the ACA."

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case during its next session that begins in October, although a final ruling is not expected until after the November elections. That means health care will once again be a pillar of a U.S. election.could occur in the fall or winter. Should record unemployment levels remain, it could heighten people's reliance on Obamacare.

For those who said there should be a contingency plan in place, such as Romney and McSally, few details were offered. Romney said he has a broader proposal but would not provide specifics. McSally pointed to a proposal by Senator Thom Tillis to protect pre-existing conditions.

Trump used to claim that he has a better plan. Like most of what the Deceiver says this was an outright lie.

It sort of looks like these guys forget Obama care is not Obama. It’s a policy that gives health care to many people, Americans, voters, lives that matter. It’s beyond party politics
