Republicans have told many lies about health care over the years. JD Vance on Sunday doubled down on their newest one.

During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Vance claimed that Donald Trump during his presidency “protected” Americans getting insurance through the Affordable Care Act “from losing their health coverage.”

Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio who is now his party’s vice presidential nominee, went on to say that Trump “actually protected a lot more additional Americans from losing their health coverage.” Trump had said something similar during Tuesday’s presidential debate, when he claimed he “saved” the 2010 health care law during the presidency.

In reality, Trump spent the first year of his presidency trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, following through on a promise he’d made from the very first days of his 2016 presidential campaign.

According to CBO, up to 32 million people could lose coverage if the repeal of ACA was successful and premiums would more than double.

6. They really do think that Americans are morons.

It's true of the MAGA cult, but regular informed Americans aren't that stupid. We remember Republicans trying to repeal the ACA time after time after time and failing. The one time they maybe could have succeeded, John McCain actually saved it. If McCain hadn't done what he did, it would have passed, Trump would have signed it, and the ACA would likely exist only as a shell of itself, if at all. Vance's statement is truly a "Pants On Fire" lie, and a despicable one at that.
