Justice Department Backs Striking Down Obamacare

“The Trump administration on Monday said the entire Affordable Care Act should be struck down, in a dramatic reversal,” CNN reports.

“In a filing with a federal appeals court, the Justice Department said it agreed with the ruling of a federal judge in Texas that invalidated the Obama-era health care law.”

“It’s a major shift for the Justice Department from when Jeff Sessions was attorney general. At the time, the administration argued that the community rating rule and the guaranteed issue requirement — protections for people with pre-existing conditions — could not be defended but the rest of the law could stand.”
