Lawyers and other experts say that uprooting the law could have "dire consequences for millions of people,"
律師和其他專家則表示，徹底廢除這項法律可能會“給數百萬民眾帶來可怕的后果”，
in the words of Abbe R. Gluck, a law professor at Yale who has closely followed the litigation.
用密切跟進這起訴訟的耶魯大學法學教授阿貝·R.格魯克的話來說。
It would also raise legal and practical questions.
還會引發(fā)法律問題和實際落實問題。
"The Justice Department's position is mind-boggling,"
“司法部的態(tài)度簡直令人難以置信，”
said Timothy S.Jost, an emeritus professor of health law at Washington and Lee University.
華盛頓與李大學衛(wèi)生法榮譽退休教授蒂莫西·S.約斯特說。
"The Affordable Care Act affects the whole health care system,
“《平價醫(yī)療法案》已經滲入了整個醫(yī)療體系，
including Medicare, Medicaid, the Food and Drug Administration, the Indian Health Service and much more.
滲入了包括醫(yī)療保險、醫(yī)療補助、食品和藥物管理、印第安人衛(wèi)生服務在內的各個方面。
The administration is asking the appeals court to invalidate the entire law without really knowing exactly what that would mean.
政府在根本沒有意識到這么做的后果的情況下就要上訴法院宣布廢除整個法律。
It's reckless."
簡直太魯莽了。”
But Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas who led the group of Republican state officials who challenged the Affordable Care Act,
曾帶領一群州級共和黨官員對《平價醫(yī)療法案》提出質疑的德克薩斯州總檢察長肯·帕克斯頓卻表示，
said he welcomed the Trump administration's latest expression of support for a lawsuit
他歡迎特朗普政府最近聲援某起訴訟的姿態(tài)。
that had already prompted a district court judge in Texas to strike down the health law.
就是這起訴訟促使德克薩斯某地區(qū)法官撤銷了《平價醫(yī)療法案》。
That judge's ruling in December has been on hold as the matter winds its way through the court system.
那名法官于去年12月做出了這一裁決，但裁決結果在法院系統(tǒng)內推進很慢，故遲遲未能生效。
"We have always been confident that the district court's extremely well-reasoned opinion was correct on the law,
“我們一直都確信，地方法院的這一意見是極其合理的，而且從法律方面來講也是正確的，
just as we have also always been confident that this administration takes its obligation to uphold the Constitution seriously, "
正如我們一直都確信，本屆政府肩負起了認真擁護憲法這一義務一樣，”
Marc Rylander, a spokesman for Mr.Paxton, said Tuesday.
帕克斯頓的發(fā)言人馬克·里蘭德周二表示。
"We applaud the Department of Justice's faithful execution of that duty."
“司法部忠實地履行了這一職責，對此我們表示贊賞。”
In addition to inciting a furor on Capitol Hill,
除了在國會激起了議員們的憤怒外，
the administration's new position is also certain to take center stage as an issue in the 2020 elections.
特朗普政府的新立場肯定還會成為2020年大選中的焦點議題。
