GOP and traitor are in court RIGHT NOW to give health ins co's ability to use PRE EXISTING CONDITION

clause to EXCLUDE coverage for people with corona-virus.

GOP wants to take insurance away from ALL Americans with corona-virus, understand that this clause applies to ALL of you with health insurance...Your employer's policy or health ins co may or MAY not make exceptions for this.

Or if you are a newly hired person.

They wont just take insurance away ENTIRELY from 25 million of us, they will take it away, potentially, as far as the virus is concerned, from ALL of us.

Other than those on Medicare or Medicaid.

Most who are now on employer's policies would likely NOT be excluded for the virus, but anything is possible if they crush the law.

There is no end to the DEATH the GOP wants to cause.

could apply an exclusion for it to ALL insureds including those with employer based policies.

Some states probably would prevent it, but not all.

Thus, a lie. Bigly.

Going to court to have it scrapped.
This seems like self-immolation. A campaign weapon being handed to one's opponent.

Hopefully the court sees their own asses on the line on this and rebuffs the government in no uncertain terms.
Because their asses are on the line with the rest of us.
Will we see juducial corruption or common sense?

Do they really think republicans won't get this virus? Do they think they won't need treatment, hospitalization or have to be on ventilators? This virus doesn't discriminate between political parties. We are now seeing a major surge in the red states. Do they think they can hold on to those votes if they deprive them of covered medical treatment.

I honestly don't understand what they are doing unless they know they are going to lose and just want to harm as many people as possible on their way out.
