It's also the feature of Obamacare that is one of the biggest factors in skyrocketing premiums for medical coverage.

A major reason, true.

The administration isn't attacking the pre-existing conditions feature. It's supporting the authority of a state government that wants to allow insurance carriers to sell plans that don't cover pre-existing conditions.

The lawsuit that 20 states filed will strike down Obamacare completely. Allowing states to eliminate the pre-existing condition requirement if Obamacare is ruled unconstitutional is only part of it. But it's a part the Democrats will fix on.

This -- along with the elimination of lifetime caps on coverage -- was one of the worst features of Obamacare. The fact that it's "just about the only really liked feature" of Obamacare tells you that the whole monstrosity was built on delusional expectations.

Perhaps. But it's expectation that voters really, really like.

We've heard all this sh!t before.

Let me guess ... the Democrats are going to run ads showing Republicans throwing Grandma in her wheelchair off a cliff?

If the GOP can't deal with this issue they deserve to lose -- badly.

I think voters are smart enough to figure out that the Democrats don't have the answers. That's why Donald Trump was elected.

Over the years I've learned that there are two different types of people who are really focused on health care as a major issue in elections. They generally fall into two different groups:

1. The person with $50,000 in annual health care costs who complains that his monthly medical "insurance" premium has escalated from $500 to $1,500 over the last ten years.

2. The person with $0 in annual health care costs who complains that his monthly premium has escalated from $500 to $1,500 over the last ten years.

Person #1 is a delusional fool who sees "insurance" as nothing more than a mechanism to make other people pay his medical bills. Person #2 is tired of being the damn fool who pays everyone else's medical bills.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that there are a lot more people who fit the description of Person #2 than Person #1.

Then let these 0care people buy insurance that has what they want in it.

And if others don’t want that, they shouldn’t have to pay for it.

You keep sounding like someone who is happy transgender reassignment surgery being force-covered. After all, tons of people are very, very happy with it.

You are a liberal.
