Pelosi tweeted, "During the 2018 election, Republicans claimed they supported protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions. Their support for Texas v. U.S. -- which would destroy protections for people w/pre-existing conditions -- is yet another sign of their true colors. #ProtectOurCare." Photo by Yuri Gripas/UPI
