So Twitter is all aflutter about Trump releasing the video from the upcoming 60 minutes interview that he quit early.

It appears the highlight is him saying he wants the Supreme Court to get rid of Obamacare before the election. When Lesley Stahl pressed him on patients with pre-existing conditions who'd lose coverage, he insisted that they'd be protected. She asked, "How?", and he wouldn't/couldn't say how, and got pissed at the question. Of course, the ACA is the only thing forcing them to cover pre-existing conditions, and Trump insisting they'd be protected without giving a basis for how that would occur just doesn't cut it.

So it's a damned good question. My cousin in San Jose has big-ass pre-existing condition, and is on ACA. No insurance company is going to cover her if they don't have to so keeping the ACA is kind of a big deal.
