Trump asks the Supreme Court to suspend the 'Obamacare' in full pandemic
Donald Trump's government requested Thursday night (25.06.2020), in the middle of the Pandemia of the Coronavirus, to the Supreme Court, which knocks on the United States Health Law, the act for affordable health (here for its acronym inEnglish), better known as "Obamacare".The Democratic spokeswoman in the Chamber of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, described the measure as "immeasurable cruelty."
The petition came the same day that the government itself reported that about half a million people who lost their medical insurance due to the crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic have received coverage through Healthcare.gov.About twenty million Americans could lose their health coverage, a situation that would be especially serious for people with pre -existing health problems.
The High Court, which in the past has failed twice in favor of "Obamacare", now studies a case driven by about twenty states in the hands of Republicans who argue that following the wake of some legislative changes of 2017 the law is unconstitutional.A White House spokesman, Judd Deere, said in a statement that "a global pandemic does not change what Americans know: 'Obamacare' has been an illegal failure."
In December 2018, a Federal Judge of Texas proved them right to declaring the reform unconstitutional and opening a legal litigation that is now in the hands of the Supreme Court with states in the hands of the Democrats, who defend it.This judge and also a Court of Appeals immediately lower than the SupremeTo be unconstitutional.

It is likely that the new decision of the supreme "Obamacare" does not reach until 2021, after the next presidential elections.Trump had promised "Obamacare" campaign with the motto "repeal and replace", but his attempts failed in Congress after a dramatic vote in which the late Republican senator John McCain supported Obama's law, the most precious legacy of the ex -president of the ex -president.
The High Court has already failed twice in favor of "Obamacare", in 2012 by 5 votes to 4, and in 2015 for 6 to 3. On both occasions, the conservative judge John Roberts voted with the four progressive to decant thecourt balance.In the case of 2015 he also voted in favor of "Obamacare" the conservative Anthony Kennedy, recently replaced by Brett Kavanaugh.
