Despite no GOP replacement plan, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney claims Americans won’t lose health care if 'Obamacare' is struck down. “The debate about pre-existing conditions is over. Both parties support them,' he adds.
Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney claimed Sunday that if the Trump administration succeeds in striking down the entirety of the Affordable Care Act in court, millions of Americans who have health coverage because of the Obama-era health law will not lose their insurance. But with no clear GOP replacement plan, Mulvaney provided few details on how he could make such guarantee.
On "This Week," ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl asked Mulvaney whether he couldfor the millions of people who enrolled through HealthCare.gov, including those with pre-existing conditions and the people under the age of 26 enrolled under their parents' plans.

Mulvaney added that "'Obamacare' is not working," and that "even Democrats admit that." He claimed that a higher number of Americans paid what was known as the "penalty" for not taking a health plan last year.
