This summer, Pence said, "We made an effort to fully repeal and replace ObamaCare and we'll continue to go back to that."

Reminder: The GOP has no replacement or plan to cover people with pre-existing conditions. #ProtectOurCare #MoSen

Obama: "Suddenly Republicans are saying they're gonna protect your pre-existing conditions when they've literally been doing the opposite. That's some kind of gall. That's some kind of chutzpah. Let's call it what it is: it's a lie. They're lying to you." (via ABC)

"That’s why I was filled with disgust when I heard that MO AG Josh @HawleyMO is pursuing a lawsuit that would remove what’s left of the ACA, including protections for people with pre-existing conditions." #ProtectOurCare #MoSen @StLouisAmerican https://t.co/XfyarnlVLb

.@HawleyMO office refused to provide documents and communications with the Trump admin on his lawsuit to remove protections for pre-existing conditions. We had to file a FOI complaint, ironically with AG. It wasn't until @BryanLowry3 wrote a story did they respond with a refusal.

[Jason Hancock @J_Hancock]

. @HawleyMO’s government staff used private email to help organize and discuss at least some of the meetings with his campaign staff that were held in the AG's office.

Topics discussed in private emails included the budget and staffing https://t.co/d1e0ZlwWJd #MoSen #MoLeg

[Rep. Emanuel Cleaver @repcleaver]

Health care premiums continue to rise unnecessarily.

You can thank Republican policies. #ProtectOurCare

"Believe Republicans When They Say They’re Coming After Your Health Care"

It’s not just the lies about pre-existing conditions. The @GOP still wants to go after the #ACA, #Medicaid and #Medicare. https://t.co/EJ1Bb8n4pX … #ProtectOurCare #HealthCareVoter

[Health Care Voter @HealthCareVoter]

Trump lied about Republicans protecting pre-existing conditions. If they keep hold of Congress, they'll only try harder *than they already are* to rip away our health care protections: https://t.co/jNVvw27tjP

[CAP Action @CAPAction]

FACT CHECK: House Republicans voted to fully repeal the ACA and gut pre-existing conditions coverage at least 9 times since 2011.

They’re now trying to claim otherwise.

Don’t let them fool you. https://t.co/OWF9d9WdB7

[CAP Action @CAPAction]

@barrforcongress @DaveBratVA7th @SteveChabot @ElectRodney @JeffDenham @GeorgeHolding @RandyHultgren @Erik_Paulsen @DanaRohrabacher @SessionsforTX32 #MO02 @AnnLWagner had a chance to make this a “top priority” Instead she voted 4 times to repeal the ACA’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

[Planned Parenthood Great Rivers Action @ppgraction]

Reminder: The Republican health care plan is for fewer of us to have access to health care.

That's why we support @McCaskill4MO for #MoSen! https://t.co/dR7Ko7v7wD

[Planned Parenthood Great Rivers Action @ppgraction]

Nobody should be denied coverage for preexisting conditions — but that’s exactly what @HawleyMO is suing to do.

We’re proud to support Sen. @clairecmc!

[Planned Parenthood Great Rivers Action @ppgraction]

This is @HawleyMO’s lawsuit. It would overturn the entire ACA — including protections for preexisting conditions.

Nobody should be denied health care coverage for preexisting conditions. #MoSen

[PolitiFact @PolitiFact]

@PolitiFactMo @CoMissourian @mujschool @clairecmc @HawleyMO @SSpinella927 .@clairecmc claimed @HawleyMO is trying to cut Medicare through an Affordable Care Act lawsuit he's supporting. In September of 2018, we rated a similar statement true: https://t.co/21DVMKyDCw #MOSEN #MOSenDebate

[Protect Our Care Missouri @POCMissouri]

And these will go away as well b/c of @HawleyMO’s lawsuit:
❌ Ban on insurance discrimination against women
❌ Limit on out-of-pocket costs
❌ Medicaid expansion currently covering 15 million people nationally
#ProtectOurCare #MoSenDebate

[Protect Our Care Missouri @POCMissouri]

These will also go away b/c of @HawleyMO’s lawsuit:
❌ Allowing kids to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26
❌ Ban on annual and lifetime limits
#ProtectOurCare #MoSenDebate

[Protect Our Care Missouri @POCMissouri]

Here is what @HawleyMO’s lawsuit will remove:
❌ Protections for 2,495,400 Missourians with pre-existing condition
❌ Improvements to Medicare, including reduced costs for prescription drugs
#ProtectOurCare #MoSenDebate

[Protect Our Care Missouri @POCMissouri]

The ACA also prevents insurance companies from rescinding or canceling someone’s coverage arbitrarily if they get sick or are diagnosed with a mental health issue. @HawleyMO’s lawsuit will remove that protection. #ProtectOurCare #MoSenDebate https://t.co/KWORvhVcna

For those of us who didn't go to Yale OR Mizzou law, here's a quick primer on severability #ProtectOurCare #MoSenDebate https://t.co/wwtCiaeE6v

[Protect Our Care Missouri @POCMissouri]

"Hawley’s statement doesn’t say how this massive new federal program would be funded but implies that customer premiums would cover the cost. Either @HawleyMO doesn’t understand the original problem here, or he’s hoping voters don’t." https://t.co/AV1V9FNTxG
