Republicans in Washington are so far proving they can't be taken seriously to improve the nation's health or health care system. After first submitting a budget that aims to force austerity on Medicaid and Medicare recipients to pay for last year's tax cuts that are going largely to corporations and the wealthy, the Trump administration has now followed up with a new plan to allow insurance companies to sell junk health insurance.
Make no mistake, this is part of the continuing GOP drive to overturn the Affordable Care Act. It has gone from the headlines to the back pages, but to Americans with pre-existing conditions, or those living on the margins, the threat is just as real.
