9 May 2019 - The House passed a bill Thursday afternoon aimed at shoring up protections for those with pre-existing health conditions, part of Democrats' plans for protecting the Affordable Care Act under the Trump administration.

The legislation was approved 230 to 183, mostly along party lines with four Republican members joining Democrats. While it's not expected to be picked up by the Republican-controlled Senate, the vote gives Democrats another messaging tool in the politically divisive fight over health care.

The bill would nullify a Trump administration guidance that would allow states to ask for waivers to make major changes to their Obamacare markets.
