Anti-gay slurs. >> im not a lobbyist with all kind of money to stuff in your pocket. >> debates have been especially passionate from the start. raucous town halls, talk of death panels, and a chance to bring the president down. a bunch of finger-pointing at the so-called tea party movement, antitax hikes and big government, and today insisting its loosely alined members have nothing to do with the slurs. that was 2010. heading into the first obama midterm, the first congressional election after ...

Drill down, they are more open to the idea of government having a role with medicare, social security, and, yes, when it comes to protections for preexisting conditions and some of these other aspects of obamacare. obama was able to win them in 2008 and 2012. trump was able to win them over in 2016. remember, his message in 2016 as a candidate was im different than republicans when it comes to social safety net questions. and so democrats sense right now there is a vulnerability there, that that...

Martha mcsally, no, you did not. you actually voted to get rid of obamacare, including its protections for people with preexisting conditions. so did you, ted cruz, texas senator up for reelection. so did you, dean heller, nevada senator up for reelection. so did you, dana rohrabacher, russian congressman up for reelection. so did you, congressman kevin cramer, running for senate now against heidi heitkamp in north dakota. you all voted to end insurance coverage for people with preexisting condi...

Its popular now. what republicans have been screaming about for eight years now is how much they hate what is now the very popular affordable care act and all of its provisions, and how much they cant wait to destroy it. american public doesnt like that idea, and it turns out democrats are holding them to that heading into election night two weeks from now. and so weve got because of that a new weird and widespread dynamic that you can see unfold right now in realtime, even in your home district...

Missouri, she asks people to stand up they have a preexisting condition so they understand whats at stake if the republicans finally follow through on what theyre trying to do to get rid of obamacare. she asks people to stand up if they have a preexisting condition or if they know somebody who does. this is a shot of one of those claire mccaskill town halls after she asked that question. stand up if you have a preexisting condition or you know somebody who does. everybody stands up. thats a snap...

Took control of congress in 2010 after that midterm, when in the presidents memorable words, the democrats got their shellacking that year, hatred of obamacare, top of the lungs republican opposition to every element of obamacare, that became sort of the main thing that the republican party stood for and did in washington. we actually stopped counting at this show when the republican-controlled congress took its 70th -- not 17th, 70th vote to repeal obamacare. they never actually did repeal the ...

>> actually, josh hawley is the attorney general in the state of missouri who is personally handling that states part in the federal lawsuit to kill obamacare, including its protections for preexisting conditions. but again, nice try. >> i support forcing insurance companies to cover preexisting conditions. >> actually, under florida governor rick scott, his state is suing to allow insurance companies specifically to no longer cover preexisting conditions, but nice try. >> im fighting to protect...

Element of obamacare, the affordable care act is this thing about preexisting conditions. this critical part of the deal that was struck to pass obamacare where it became a new rule for health insurance companies that they can no longer deny you coverage, and they can no longer charge you extra for your coverage just because you have a preexisting condition. that is a very popular provision of the law that gets rid of what was a huge and devastating and sometimes fatal flaw in what used to be th...

Its got a 75% approval rating. americans love that. well, the basic bill that house republicans voted on a gazillion times to kill obamacare, it explicitly states that the preexisting conditions guarantee would be ended if republicans got that passed. that lawsuit by 20 republican-led states thats pending in the courts right now to eliminate all of obamacare, it also explicitly and specifically seeks to remove protections for people with preexisting conditions. republicans are desperately trying...
