A week after Republicans moved forward with their lawsuit to tear down pre-existing conditions coverage and President Trump said – on tape – “we want to terminate health care,” GOP strategists are now concerned their toxic health care record could cost them the election, with one telling CNN “Republicans can’t afford to litigate health care for the second election in a row.”
“The GOP has made their position on health care clear: in the middle of a deadly global pandemic, Republicans have refused to hold the Trump administration accountable for their decision to keep the special enrollment period closed and enabled an irresponsible lawsuit that will spike health care costs and dismantle protections for pre-existing conditions,” said DSCC spokesperson Stewart Boss. “Every vulnerable Republican on the ballot in November is going to have to own their toxic record on health care.”
