BALTIMORE (AP) — The Trump
administration is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit filed by several cities for
allegedly sabotaging the Affordable Care Act.
The Daily Record reports that the
defendants argued in a motion filed Monday that the dispute is a political
disagreement outside federal court's jurisdiction.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S.
District Court in Baltimore in August on behalf of Baltimore, Chicago and
Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio. A Charlottesville, Virginia, couple is also part
of the lawsuit. The complaint asserts the administration is trying to
discourage enrollment and reduce choices, and will destabilize the health
insurance marketplace.
The complaint accuses the president
of violating a clause requiring the faithful execution of laws, but the
defendants argue the court can't instruct the president how to perform official
duties.
