A congressional source tells Mike Allen that a key provision tucked in House Dems’ 14-page opening-day rules package focuses on the federal judge in Texas who struck down the ACA (which remains in effect during appeals).
” The provision authorizes the House counsel to intervene in the lawsuit on behalf of the House of Representatives, to try to protect people with pre-existing conditions, a popular and consequential feature of the ACA.”
“Next week, Democrats will hold an additional vote on a stand-alone resolution on intervening to defend protections for people with pre-existing conditions.”
