Denise Majette: Voted against the drug bill set up by the drug companies

MAJETTE: Majette, who also voiced her support for Medicare and Medicaid programs, said she voted against the Medicare prescription drug bill because it “was set up by the drug companies” and accused Isakson of pandering to big corporations.

Donald Trump: FactCheck: Sued to end pre-existing condition protection

THE FACTS: His rhetoric is at odds with his actions. In reality, his administration is seeking in a lawsuit to eliminate such coverage. His Justice Department is arguing in court that those protections in the Obama-era health law should fall. The short-term health plans Trump often promotes as a bargain alternative offer no guarantee of covering pre-existing conditions.

Government lawyers said in legal filings last June that they will no longer defend key parts of the Affordable Care Act, including provisions that guarantee access to health insurance regardless of any medical conditions. Then-Attorney General Sessions wrote in a letter to Congress that Trump approved the legal strategy.

Obama's health care law requires insurers to take all applicants, regardless of medical history, and patients with health problems pay the same standard premiums as healthy ones.
