...As it happens, Republicans are split on this. Some want to continue Obamacare's federal mandates protecting pre-X. Others say they support such coverage, but not through federal mandates.

The key question is whether this tweet is stating the *exact opposite* of each party's *on-the-record legislative platforms.* Which would make it an out-and-out lie.
-
That obviously false part of the tweet wasn't of interest to me. It's clear that Dems support this policy.
#Obamacare and losing control of the House and Senate prove that. -
Agreed. But it also seems equally clear that Republicans want it gone. Graham-Cassidy would have removed the protections, and McConnell has stated that full repeal is still the goal, without qualification, in recent weeks. Trump is flatly misrepresenting R policy.
-
Maybe. I've talked to some on the trail who favor maintaining this mandate and the one for life-time caps.
-
Perhaps some do. It comes down to how you define "party support." Getting the support of leadership, or at least a lone Congressperson introducing a bill, are ways to establish that. Trump's assertion doesn't seem like it's based on either.

If you do not support the mandate then the cost of coverage for those with pre-existing conditions skyrockets - pricing many out of coverage. So defacto you are eliminating the protection.

But David. It is a straight up lie when his administration supports state AG efforts to end pre-existing condition requirements. Call him on that. No gray area here.
