Amid pandemic and without an alternative health plan of its own, Trump administration asks Supreme Court to overturn the Affordable Care Act.

filed Thursday in the case brought by 20 Republican-led states that want to completely invalidate the law.

Two lower federal courts have ruled that the ACA’s individual mandate is unconstitutional after the GOP Congress in 2017 zeroed out the penalty for going without health insurance. Both courts called into question the viability of the entire law without the mandate. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters before boarding Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House, June 23, 2020 to travel to Arizona where he will tour border-wall-construction operations in Yuma, and meet with a conservative advocacy group in Phoenix.Industry groups and independent health care analysts say abruptly wiping out Obamacare would mean a highly disruptive shift in the health care of millions of Americans.

"They would live their lives caught in a vise between Donald Trump's twin legacies: his failure to protect the American people from the coronavirus and his heartless crusade to take health care protections away from American families," Biden said.

Mistake from Trump at this time, I believe.

This is repulsive. The only comment I can come up with....just repulsive.

Good. No plan under 6000 deductible 😡😡😡😡

Trump will win his reelection for sure: Trump is an envoy of God to save the world from evil ...

At that angle you can see how crooked he stands

Yeah kick people while they’re down...

This is NOT a U.S. President. He knows he is out in November and he is going to leave a even bigger trail of disaster between now and then. Why wait until November? It's past the time to remove this complete loser and his elves!

Too bad he don’t care. Pls Don’t Vote for Mr Trump he makes our country worst and No Heart. The Worst Ever!

wonder if Trump and his buddies will enjoy the 8th circle.

Donny's pre-election promise: 'We'll have health care for everyone and it's going to be better and it's going to be cheaper.' Donny after finding out he doesn't know what he's doing: 'Nobody knew health care could be so complicated.'

This shows just how biased ABC News is. We don't need an alternative health plan. Health care was much better before Obamacare. Remember, ABC News allowed a child rapist to continue to rape children for 2 years simply because he supported Democrats.

It needs to go it doesn’t help anyone

People unite and vote Blue this November. Only blue.

Like this is a great time to take medical insurance from Americans fighting job losses, hunger, & the inability to pay their bills. Only a rich white man who thinks he's a dictator would even give this a thought!!!!!

Does NBC, MSNBC, CNN , ABC know how much premium each family pays a month for Obama Care? They don’t! It’s outrageously high? Middle Americans are now the meaning of poverty in America.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤡👀👀👀

What a heinous man-child.

Bravo!!!

Let’s take a moment to consider the number of illnesses that could be considered “pre-existing” in people with a hx of COVID-19

'In the midst of a pandemic...' Everyone knows or should know all Covid bills are paid by the gov't. No one is to be billed by any provider for any costs to treat Covid. abc, once again, stirring the pot with innuendos, leaving out pertinent facts.

He just dunked in your face. Beautiful

Why do we need a plan to replace it? The ACA didn’t replace anything. It was a monster created to make healthcare more “affordable” by raising insurance premiums for most people by more than 200%

Yell this from the rooftops!

Fake news . Obamacare is sucks

Some things make no sense....Get a plan!

Obama was much better than him

Bad move

ABCNews - We and by we I mean my extended family of over 100 people don't watch you and haven't in years. You're as bad as NBCNews and CBSNews What makes it sickening is that Disney owns you and we wish they would sell your operating unit off. wsj WSJ FT barronsonline

He's nothing more then a fool...

That Affordable Care Act is a joke , chased all our REAL Doctors to other countries or into retirement. We only have over rated Nurse practitioners anyways. Your grandmother knows more than any of these clowns.

But the statutes...

And then he went golfing in Virginia.

Well, the Republican health plan is so comprehensive and well articulated that we don’t need the ACA for millions of Americans! I think I’ll go online and sign up for the Republican plan today...oh, where do I find it?

How do you know he doesn’t have a healthcare plan? You don’t know!

He just can't cope with Obama can he!

He thinks being in opposition gives him power. He is playing with people’s lives. He can’t magically think away this pandemic to increase his approval ratings.

What a POS.

I’m not at all surprised I feel for all those millions that will lose their health care coverage, mine costs $1800 a month.During a pandemic is not right time to replace or reconfigure.

I am bigger than the Washington Monument.

It doesnt work for the people - it only got Obama 4 years - got people a big medical bill

In this thread, temporarily embarrassed millionaires, one week from being homeless trying to deride others for wanting to have access to adequate healthcare like the rest of the well off countries.

TrumpIsKillingAmericans

How their bumbasses don't do it

It is 'not' that they don't have an alternative health care plan. It is that any plan will be 'resisted' by the Democratic leaders in Congress. Health Care plans were presented earlier, but the Dems think that Medicaid Expansion has to be a part. The ACA is unconstitutional.

He wants good medical care for everyone, not Obamacare.

A half truth that President Trump can think about while he plays golf: Trump was born in June 1946 in Queens, Jamaica. A full truth: MAGA stands for MAKE AMERICA GOLF AGAIN.

This just in, Trumps hates everybody even himself.

Trump has no plan!

Is it possible that Chief Justice Roberts would vote against his own ruling from 2012?

A new low for our president! Thousands of people will be without healthcare! Poor people!

All agree we need a better system and a better name . Trumpcare ?

I pray as they Strike down on Us to Please Know God will bless us at the Same Time Love Sharon God is Just that Mighty And Powerful

Very idiotic and shameful. And in the middle of a pandemic trump still wants to get rid of Obama care. He truly shows he doesn't care that people have lost their jobs and need health insurance right now. He doesn't have anything to replace it. He is lying if he says he does.

Yeah! Open state lines and allow sale of health insurance across state lines! Open the market up! Obamacare was a failed democratic investment scheme.

Madman drummers bummers... With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground

What!...no “cheaper, better, covering pre-existing conditions” ?

Furthermore, due to his bizarre response to the pandemic and his encouragement of his core supporters to resist scientific research & guidelines PLUS no response to violence threatened vs public health officials across the nation, we have lost dozens of experts to resignation.

This is how you make sure people remember you for a long time.... Mess up everyone and everything

Well of course he would, how else could he screw the country any worse, short of standing on a street corner with a gun.

He’s lost his mind. No alternate offered. It really won’t effect or harm him only vulnerable Americans so he’s gun ho. Perhaps he will be effected by his actions come November.

From the very beginning the government should of covered all the cost of those contaminated however, I believe they did know & did not warn us in time if it really does exist. In many cases people died & were not contaminated but their death certificate stated Covid-19.

Best richest place on earth?

DJ_LEGION_ONE To make healthcare more accessible surely it’s the Affordable Fees Act that’s required

Good.

So many fires, so many worries for the American people as the GOPBetrayedAmerica

That's because the name Obama bothers him.

realDonaldTrump This is what happens when the little man in the WH has ZERO INTEGRITY.

And then the asshole went golfing.

Disgusting orange man VoteTrumpOut2020

Trump supporters he really cares about you all.

realDonaldTrump is the devil

With Humpty Trumpty ALWAYS FOLLOW the $$$$$ Going to Trump INC.

Obamacare is an insolvent mess, another democrat created welfare debacle

Trump has no regard for the public in general. He thinks he is privilege, and cares for those that have distain for the vast majority of people.

It comes out of his butt, that’s why it sounds stupid

Seems like a good idea...VoteTrumpOut

How about they over turn Trump?🤗

Trumps a man with no plan.

Atta boy trump, another horrible decision!!!

This man has no moral compass. Of course we know that

So these are the death panels we were promised by the GOP

What reasons did trump give for his action?

Trump is lost. Doesn’t seem to know what’s going on. Sad 😢

Callous. Cruel. Irresponsible. Stupid.

This guy really could give two-shits about our country. He’s using the federal treasury like the Russian oligarchs used him. The Trumps are a family smothered in dirty, blood money 🩸 🩸 🩸 🩸 🩸

fewer hospitalizations = 'What virus?' VoteOutTheGOP

Before 2020 many things could have been said about Obamacare or any healthcare. But we were unfortunate enough to be lead into a vicious pandemic due to a poor leader. As a country, WE all locked in, lives were and are still being lost. He cares 0 for WE the people.

Elections have consequences vote this out of WH

Pathetic

I feel like this is Trump's way of punishing all the people who are against him. His way of jabbing at the citizens where it hurts them most. No support for testing, no health insurance, while many of his people he is supposed to be protecting are dying. Shameful.☹️

Wait what? Wasn't he going to 'repeal and reform' or some shit?

Evil ...pure evil! VoteTrumpOut VoteOutTheGOP

Why is he always leaning forward? So odd.

Perfect!

What would you expect from a narcissistic sociopath

Lol, not biased at all, are you? fakenews

Trump is such an evil man

He’s the Anti CHRIST

This is a satanic administration.

Really evil

🤮🤮🤮😂😂😂😂👀👀

realDonaldTrump seems like the anti-Christ. Seems he was sent by the devil to cause harm, spread hatred and speak lies. True Christians would know that all this is against the Christianity teachings.

That headline really spells it out. Donny does everything for himself. In this case, he's both feeding his ego and displaying his hatred of a black president by hurting Americans.

realDonaldTrump should face impeachment over this criminal act alone. DumpTrump2020 cnnbrk NBCNews

Jealousy and envy over Obamacare, realDonaldTrump doesn’t care about a single human life. Millions of people would have their health insurance taken away in the middle of a pandemic. Leading to more deaths. The people DO NOT DESERVE THIS!

Shitty headline , doesn’t tell the story but for abc par for the course

Oh he has a plan. Just wait. He is way ahead of this.

It was flawed from the beginning: only got passed cuz O'care was said not be a tax at the time. Court realized it was and that renders it unconstitutional

Ohhhh my. This isn’t going to play well in Peoria. Wow.

Despite numerous attempts by this administration & congressional republicans to kill me off by denying me affordable healthcare, I survived thanks to the ACA and am now on Medicare. I swear Trump is a democidal maniac

Who even uses that program?

Money money

Anti-Christ

He is so misinformed this will break the country

Trump out 2020

This greatly evil man and it’s followers, shall face the full wrath of the election and be tossed aside like the rat he is.

WOW! What a horrible administration!!!

After putting millions of Americans out of work w his incompetent disregard of the pandemic, he’s now going to take away their health care?

trump should write a book called 'how to kill your country people'

He knows no low...... then what?

Who needs fictional villains?

He was a real leader! Say his name : O-BA-MA!

Wake me up when this is over

BLM don't care about Mosques

Another Disgusting Act by 45 and his minions.

It cost as much as a private insurance , $900 a month for no income people at all. It's unconstitutional to force, my money my body I, my choice! If not eradicated dems will easily start finding and penalizing individuals again !

Have to get rid of this abomination first. The pandemic has nothing to do with it, stupid Democrat.

Address The White Senile Supremacist JoeBiden racism . Crack is the number one leading drug in the African American community. Someone addicted to crack & caught with a tiny piece instead of getting them help Biden made it so they go to prison.

Trump is the worst thing to happen to America since.... Correction, trump IS THE WORST THING to EVER happen to America

I hope they say no this is not a good time what in the holy fuckery is this

After how many years, still no plan? Then sit down and shut up.

Wow... Is this the title to an editorial..? News Media = Army for the Liberal Left

This is your semi-regular Y-axes comparison.

He hates US

He mean...

Stupid. Irresponsible. Cruel.

😟😟😟

The ACA is bad law. Let the states have control but if I want to buy a plan from another state, I should be able to.

Thata not right like not giving help when EssentialWorkers need and deserve hazardpay now he wants to do this EmergencyMoneyForThePeople payessentials Covid_19

Joe Biden is a horrible choice, his dementia continues to worsen , but the sheep will follow him

He just doesn't have any empathy or sympathy for anybody.He cares about no one other than himself.

As outrageous as this story is it’s not getting enough attention Why aren’t Democrats demanding the motion be removed? Bring attention to this hideous action Since massive layoffs started in March 500,000 people have signed up for coverage Trump has no plan for these people

America can’t afford all these poor people dying right donni 😼

And replace it with.... 3 1/2 years in and still nothing. 3 1/2 years in and the only major bill passed that affects all of us was the bill that helps Wallstreet. MoscowMitchMcConnell has failed as a senate majority leader for our nation. ProjectLincoln AmyMcGrathKY

Yes, let's get rid of it when you have nothing to replace it with. 🙄

TRUMP IS GREAT AT MAKING PEOPLE LOOK THE OTHER WA!

THIS IS A DIVERSION

Right on, Trump!

But replacing it was 'going to be easy'. Is that not what Trump said in 2016?

Murderer

THIS is just about as low as Trump can go. He wants to punish people who can't afford expense healthcare. I guess he's hoping they will die so they can't vote. Just like the Mail In Voting this man is so desperate it's beyond sickening. realDonaldTrump pollsdontlie

just another item to crush trump on zero replacement , yet simply want to rid healthcare for millions because......... obama moronic

Yes, rip it out

Moscow Mitch, and the President are just a team of Kakistocracy! And Machiavellian's, who care not who they hurt, for the are for the Rich and Powerful, like the Koch brothers, and the rest of them! People need to Vote them out!

Enemy within claiming to be a patriot. The most successful fraud of all time!

It’s about time

They should fix it or overturn it. Status quote not acceptable. Trump trying to force Congress to do their job for once.

The AVA was a devastating blow to employer based health insurance. Resulting in people having to pay over full price for sub standard policies or not being covered at all.

That’s like saying, “Trump wants to end the pandemic yet doesn’t have a deadly virus to replace it with.” Why do bad things need to be replaced when they can just be eliminated?

President expects his mates, appointees to the Supteme Court, to do what he tells them to do.

Stop giving him so much attention

So is the 25th amendment just a legend or...

I guess the Covid19 death tolls aren't high enough for this psychopath.

I’m without words for this.

Jodzio Americans are dying fast enough to satisfy the Republicans so they move to take away our healthcare.

Amazing how you guys just stopped taking about the virus for a few weeks and now it’s back to every single article.

Trump needs to be afflcted, permanently, maybe in jail, certainly in hell

Another NAIL in his COFFIN

Another distraction from his lack of ability to deal with COVID. Political slight of hand.

Obama could have solved poverty and cured cancer, and Trump would sign an EO overturning it

He knows he will be gone

It was a mandate on the people that penalized them for not having insurance. Not everyone qualified bc if you didn’t make enough you had to go on state aid. A family of four was paying $2000/mo through ACA “affordable” is a joke

Dont forget he continues to lie to everyone and claims to protect it.

The Affordable Care Act is not affordable. John Roberts luvs Jeff Epstein.

This heathen even wants to take away Healthcare in the middle of a pendemic! Desperation!

Heartless and evil!

He knows he’s going down so now it’s a matter of personal vendettas. Nothing off the table now. The pardons are coming for his crime gang too

RAT !

Trump does not care. Doesn’t that violate his oath of office?

GOP don’t care about people. We need insurance and most importantly pre-existing condition coverage. Remember this in November!

Good!!!!!!!!!

Twinsfan811 Trump is trying to kill us all.

MontyBoa99

And with it — no pre-conditions, no lifetime caps, and select coverage unless you’re willing to pay dearly.

trishtra3 But...but... he said he wouldn't take it away.

It wasn’t “ affordable “ for me. Obamacare increased my insurance premium by hundreds of dollars and it covers almost nothing.

Awesome. Trump takes away health care during the TrumpPlague so more people can die, What a true Conservative Christian.

Trust Trump to put his shoes on the right feet without help, ...... possibly, trust Trump with the health of a nation, ABSOLUTELY NOT, NEVER.

Trump is pure evil. Inequality and racism in the USA was caused by men like Trump.

Of course he is...

MontyBoa99 Really, without a plan of their own! WHY DO THEY HATE AMERICANS? GOP realDonaldTrump

Clearly a great idea.....

Insurance would be significantly more competitive, Obamacare is crazy expensive for shitty insurance

IF ANYONE IS GOING TO OVERTURN ANYTHING, ITS THIS TRUMP VILLAGE IDIOT BY THE PEOPLE THIS UPCOMING NOVEMBER PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS! GOOD RIDDANCE OF THE PRESENT RACIST AND FASCIST TRUMP REGIME! - E.F. Mohammed Martinez - I Remain Defiant To The Death!

Trump Genocide. Trump is the worst President in American history!

Does this guy ever think before opening his mouth ?

M E N T A L L Y U N S T A B L E

His just going any direction without views and it's right way of his own significance or discussion

And people STILL follow him....What A Fucking Shame...and they call themselves Patriots...

Clearly biased article title

He's scraping the bucket of all of his past woes and insecurities. He always goes back and blame others.

No2inC_Minor What is the freaking point? I doubt Roberts is going to go along with taking millions off their healthcare during a pandemic. The question is why is Trump doing this?

Remember when he tried to replace it before and failed, even though the Republicans had both houses of Congress?

Pure evil. Inhuman.

Dont forget that Donald Trump was a reality tv star with no political experience whatsoever, voted in as U S President by Confederate flag wavers only because he hated the same people they did

What is wrong with Congress and the Senate? Do your jobs! This man is clearly not right in his mind. Removal is the only solution at this point.

Why is it so important for him to remove Obama care? especially now... wont the deaths sky rocket since people won't be insured? anybody knows? whats his agenda?
