"We're doing health policy by litigation these days."
The fate of Obamacare and a slew of Trump health care policies — from
Medicaid work requirements to Title X family planning changes — now
rests in the courts.
Georgetown law professor Katie Keith sat down with POLITICO's Dan
Diamond to discuss the legal fight over the Affordable Care Act, the
litigation over Trump-era regulations, the rollback of LGBTQ patient
policies and her own role as Health Affairs' go-to blogger for ACA
analysis.
MENTIONED ON THE SHOW
Oral arguments are looming next month as Democrat-led states appeal a
decision, supported by the Trump administration, that the Affordable
Care Act is unconstitutional.
The Texas Tribune looked closer at how GOP lawyers have steered cases to
Judge Reed O'Connor, hoping he'll keep striking down Obama-era
regulations.
The Trump administration last month rolled back protections for LGBTQ
patients. HHS also announced new protections for religious health
workers, a decision that drew on old polling by Kellyanne Conway.
