Trump administration officials have fought for weeks behind the scenes over the details of how to relax Obama-era standards. Top officials at the Transportation Department and the Environmental Protection Agency clashed over whether the White House’s justifications for the new policy can stand up to legal scrutiny.

In one recent internal presentation, part of which was obtained by The Washington Post, officials at the EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality warned that the proposal at that point contained “a wide range of errors, use of outdated data, and unsupported assumptions.”

From NBC News:

Trump has “waged a relentless effort to use executive action alone to undermine and, ultimately, eliminate the law,” the complaint charges, according to a draft obtained by NBC News. The lawsuit is being filed in Maryland federal court by the cities of Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio.

Since Trump's first executive order directing federal agencies to claw back as much of the Affordable Care Act as possible, his directives have increased health coverage costs and depressed enrollment, the complainants say.

The lawsuit got some ammunition on Thursday when the Brookings Institute released a study concluding that insurance premiums would have gone down had the president* and his party simply allowed the law to work. From The Hill:

The analysis from Matt Fiedler at the Brookings Institute found premiums would be 4.3 percent lower in a “stable policy environment" — meaning certain ObamaCare rules like the individual mandate were still in place, and access to short-term plans had not been expanded. Congressional Republicans eliminated the penalty for not having having health insurance as part of the 2018 tax law. And the Trump administration this week finalized rules lifting an Obama-era limitation on “short term” plans that don’t meet ObamaCare’s coverage rules. Both policy changes are generally expected to cause healthier people to leave
