West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey, Manchin’s GOP challenger in November’s election, is among the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that would allow insurance companies to deny coverage to people with various pre-existing conditions. WASHINGTON ―In a new campaign ad Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) literally shoots a document representing the Republican-led lawsuit that could end a key and very popular Affordable Care Act provision. Patrick Morrisey's lawsuit would take away health care from people with pre-existing conditions. And it’s not hard to see why: West Virginia has the highest share of adults with pre-existing conditions of any state. Manchin is a former West Virginia governor whose folksy style and centrist voting record has sustained his career in his state.
