Scott Walker’s Long History of Undermining Protections for Pre-Existing Conditions
When it comes to health care,
But if he's such a champion for health care, then why do we keep seeing headlines like these:
WPR: Health Care Official: Striking Down ACA Would Create 'Chaos'
That's right.
The lawsuit targets the most popular provision in the ACA: protections for pre-existing conditions. Right now, insurers are prohibited from denying coverage or charging more for certain conditions.
Walker's lawsuit, if successful, would gut protections for people with pre-existing conditions. And when you look at his record, it shouldn't surprise you that Walker is once again attacking pre-existing conditions:
* Walker repeatedly cheered on
* Just last year he enthusiastically supported the Graham-Cassidy bill, which undermined protections for pre-existing conditions, calling it a "winner all the way around."
* Walker toyed with the idea of seeking a waiver from federal requirements to protect people with pre-existing conditions.
* When he ran for President, he pledged to repeal the Affordable Care Act "on day one."
When you combine that with his refusal to expand BadgerCare, and his delayed implementation of market stabilization policies, it's clear that affordable health care is not a priority for Walker.
Or you could just look at his tweets. Walker did not tweet about "pre-existing conditions" even once before 2018. Now he wants us to think he cares? Get real.
