Oral arguments in lawsuit that could strip coverage for nearly 2.5 million Missourians who have a pre-existing condition begin today

Oral arguments in Josh Hawley’s lawsuit that would strip coverage for nearly 2.5 million Missourians who have a pre-existing condition begin today. Hawley’s lawsuit would make the health care law’s individual mandate unconstitutional, axing protections for pre-existing conditions coverage and sending health care costs skyrocketing.

In June, the Justice Department decided it would not defend the health care law against a lawsuit by Republican attorneys general including Hawley who are sabotaging Americans’ health care. Nearly three months later, as his lawsuit is being heard by a federal judge, Hawley’s lawsuit has forced Senate Republican candidates to try and rewrite their history as they face a backlash from voters.

“By pushing a lawsuit that would make coverage for pre-existing conditions unconstitutional, Josh Hawley has given Missourians a clear and powerful reason to vote against him in November,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman David Bergstein.  “Health care is the top issue for voters and they want a senator who will put their interests first – by backing a toxic agenda that raises costs and cuts coverage Hawley has failed that test and proven he can’t be trusted in the Senate.”
