Toobin on Trump’s Health Care Pitch: ‘This Is, Like, People’s Lives’

EXCERPT:

TOOBIN: “You know, one second. I mean, you know, healthcare is not just like this political issue. There are people who die because they don’t have health insurance, there are people who declare bankruptcy all the time because they don’t have health insurance. If this lawsuit succeeds as the administration wants it to succeed, insurers will no longer have to cover people with preexisting conditions, young people will not be able to stay on their parents’ healthcare until they’re 26 years old. I mean, this has real impacts on people’s lives. Donald Trump can say, 'Well, pay no attention until 2020. We will deal with that, like, at some point.' I mean, this is like people’s lives, healthcare. And the idea that you can somehow say, 'Well, just never mind,' for two plus years, I mean, how stupid do they think people are?”
