“The only thing worse than a public health pandemic is a public health pandemic without health care”
to the Daily Beast, 18 Republican attorneys general still plan to participate in a lawsuit that could repeal the Affordable Care Act within a year. Representatives for five of these attorneys general confirmed to the outlet that they remain committed to overturning Obamacare regardless of the pandemic, which continues to spread in the very states they preside over. “It’s always been a question of legality, not health care policy,” a spokesperson for the Tennessee Attorney General argued.
This is not the first GOP attempt to weaken the law, and repealing Obamacare would have an enormous impact on the country’s public health system, pandemic or not. But, as the Daily Beast notes, the timing of the decision—potentially during the recovery stage—gives it “a seismic significance.” At least 20 million Americans covered by Obamacare will lose their coverage if the law is repealed.
To no surprise, the former vice president continues to deride Trump’s pursuit of the case. Yesterday,the GOP’s continued push “unconscionable” given that “Americans are already afraid of the impact the deadly COVID-19 pandemic is having on their lives—they don't need the added stress of losing their health insurance.
