If anyone needed further evidence that President Donald Trump’s administration does not care about the harm their legal strategy to eradicate the Affordable Care Act could have on millions of Americans, Attorney General William Barr is here to provide it. Barr’s snide, dismissive and evasive answers utterly ignored the human cost of erasing the Affordable Care Act with no plan to protect the people whose health coverage is at risk. “You know, I’m not in charge of health care,” Barr told lawmakers. It starts with as many as 20 million people currently covered by Affordable Care Act programs abruptly losing that coverage and finding themselves uninsured, likely with nowhere to turn to replace it. “Attorney General Barr, you’re not a health care policy expert, but your department is taking the lead on attempting a massive overhaul of our American health care system,” Cartwright said.
