The White House is pushing for a vote on a new Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act—even as widespread questions about the plan remain, including whether President Trump understands it. On Monday, President Trump reiterated his claim that the Republican bill would guarantee coverage for people with pre-existing conditions. In fact, on Saturday, Republican lawmakers struck a deal that would not protect people with pre-existing conditions, instead allowing insurers to charge them significantly higher premiums. The White House is pushing for a vote as early as Wednesday, even though a number of Republicans came out against the legislation Monday.
