Yep, still a winner with the people.

Turns out people with pre-existing health conditions really care about keeping their health insurance covering them. They also really don't appreciate popular vote loser Donald Trump's attempt to take that coverage away.

By a 2-to-1 margin, U.S. voters disapprove of the U.S. Justice Department's decision to support a lawsuit that would eliminate popular protections for patients with preexisting conditions under the Affordable Care Act, a new poll shows.

That's 66 percent of voters, to put it another way. Against this backdrop, the Senate Health Committee is having hearings this week focusing on "costs" with the House promising to follow suit soon. "We're just going to march through every segment of this. That's every segment: that's pharmaceuticals, that's PMBs, that's doctors, that's hospitals," says House Energy and Commerce chairman, Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR). You know what that means, right?

"I think if you address health care costs you're basically repealing and replacing Obamacare. It's really one and the same," Sen. Mike Rounds told me.

Yep. They're still talking about repeal. They could be talking about how they are going to make sure that the pre-existing conditions protections remain law, since they want us to believe that, in Mitch McConnell's words, "Everybody I know in the Senate—everybody—is in favor of maintaining coverage for pre-existing conditions."

They're not. If they were, they'd be doing something about that right now.

Please give $1 to our Senate and House funds so that Republicans pay the price for sabotaging our health care.
