Republicans are misleading voters about preexisting conditions

Fact-checking the 2018 campaign spin on preexisting conditions.

Republicans have a preexisting conditions problem in the 2018 midterms, and they know it.

Take the Missouri Senate race. Republican state Attorney General Josh Hawley is simultaneously supporting, in his official capacity, a lawsuit to overturn the existing rules to protect preexisting conditions — while also releasing a Senate campaign ad that highlights his commitment to protecting preexisting conditions.

It’s 360-degree, head-turning spin. But it’s still appearing in critical Senate, House, and governor’s campaigns across the country.

The dissonance goes all the way up to President Donald Trump, who has tweeted recently that all Republicans support people with preexisting conditions and that he would have a word with any candidate who didn’t — even while his administration fights in court to overturn the protections currently in effect under Obamacare.
