CLAIM: President Donald Trump wants to cancel health insurance coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.

VERDICT: False. Trump supports repealing Obamacare but has always backed coverage for pre-existing conditions.

CNN moderator Abby Phillip stated several false or contested claims as facts at the Democrat debate on Tuesday night. One was the claim that President Trump wants to end health insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions, simply because the president also supports a court challenge to Obamacare. In fact, while repealing the individual mandate of Obamacare, and backing a full “repeal and replace,” Trump has always insisted on covering people with pre-existing health conditions.

I just saw a Bloomberg ad on TV where he alleges exactly this. If Trump's reelected, all coverage for pre-existing conditions will disappear!!!!

I guess this will be the theme for all Democrat candidates.  The orange guy in the White House now wants to take away your health care.  It's a variation of the old refrain that Republicans are going to pish Grandma in her wheelchair off a cliff.  Only Democrats care about the old, the sick, the poor and the downtrodden.  Republicans want all of them to die.

Remember when Republicans wanted grandma to have nothing to eat but cat food?
Those were the days!

That was before we pushed her over the cliff in her wheel chair.  IIRC
