Democrats Pivot Hard to Health Care After Trump Moves to Strike Down Affordable Care Act

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration’s decision to ask a federal appeals court to invalidate the Affordable Care Act has given House Democrats a new opening to pursue what they see as a winning political strategy: moving past talk of impeachment to put kitchen-table issues like health care front and center.

The notice to the court, filed late Monday by the Justice Department, could not have come at a more opportune time for Democrats. The finding by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, that there was no evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, dashed the hopes of the most partisan Democrats that the House would impeach the president.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi — who celebrated her 79th birthday on Tuesday — had already planned to move to change the conversation with the unveiling of the Democrats’ own health care plan on Tuesday. The Democrats’ bill aims to lower health insurance premiums, strengthen protections for people with pre-existing medical conditions and ban the sale of what Democrats call “junk insurance.”

The Justice Department’s move gave the unveiling an urgency that not even she could have anticipated.

3. Who the hell are these people writing this shit.

I feel like someone's trying to manipulate me with innuendo and rumor as if it were fact, make out democrats to be deceptive in their proceedings. This all sounds like playbook strategy for republicans. New York Times, for having such a reputation as a liberal newspaper, sure seem to have a lot of conservative writers on staff.

"a new opening to pursue what they see as a winning political strategy"... no good intentions implied.

"The finding by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, that there was no evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, dashed the hopes of the most partisan Democrats that the House would impeach the president".....yep, republican wrote that bullshit.

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi — who celebrated her 79th birthday on Tuesday — had already planned to move to change the conversation with the unveiling of the Democrats’ own health care plan on Tuesday"......good to know how old she is and that she was already planning on manipulating the conversation...another republican tactic.

And there's more even in this short article but I'll spare you. Word choices reveal bias.

Subtle but I call bullshit on these two assholes who put their names to this article.
