Judge skeptical of need to reinstate Trump health care cuts

FILE – In this July 24, 2017, file photo, President Donald Trump speaks about healthcare in the Blue Room of the White House in Washington. The top lawyers for 19 states will urge a federal judge Monday, Oct. 23, 2017, to force Trump’s administration to pay health care subsidies he abruptly cut off earlier this month. State attorneys general, led by California Democrat Xavier Becerra, argue the monthly payments are required under former President Barack Obama’s health care law, and cutting them off will harm consumers.
