Trump lied about health care repeatedly during the campaign. Still, many Catholic "leaders", some more explicitly than others, endorsed or otherwise supported him as a putatively "pro-life" candidate. What a crock! As president, Trump has never proposed or supported a healthcare plan that looks remotely like the one he promised during the campaign and the transition. Just the reverse: he’s embraced a succession of plans, each one worse than its predecessor, that are, every one of them, militantly anti-life, pro-sickness and pro-death.
If Catholic leaders want to make amends for their collaboration in the election of this brutally anti-life president, they will address him directly. They will remind him of his promises; they will quote his own words back to him. They will demand that he produce what he promised: a plan that includes universal health care, better than the ACA and less expensive. They will demand that he renounce the filthy lie of "Repeal and Replace."
