Democrats have been saying that Mr. Trump still wants to abolish the law,
民主黨人一直表示，特朗普仍想廢除該法案，
and they can now point to the Justice Department's filing as proof.
現在，他們可以把司法部這次的文檔作為他們的證據了。
The Democrats' offensive on health care is more than an effort to draw a contrast with Republicans.
民主黨人在醫療保健方面展開大力攻勢不僅僅是為了與共和黨人形成對比。
But in unveiling their bill on Tuesday,
然而，民主黨領導層在周二公布他們的法案這一舉措
Democratic leaders were also trying to smooth over internal divisions
也是在試圖平息自由派和中間派之間的分歧——
between liberals pushing the single-payer government insurance plan known as "Medicare for all"
自由派推行的是“全民醫保”這一實行單一支付方的政府保險計劃；
and centrists, who are calling for a more incremental approach.
中間派則呼吁采取更加漸進的方法。
The House Democrats' health care plan, put together by Ms. Pelosi and several House committee chairmen,
眾議院民主黨的醫保方案，該計劃是由佩洛西和幾位眾議院委員會主席集體提出的，
builds on the Affordable Care Act, which the speaker was instrumental in passing.
是建立在《平價醫療法案》基礎之上的一個計劃，而佩洛西議長對該法案的通過功不可沒。
It would overturn a rule Mr. Trump issued in August that greatly expanded the market for sales of short-term insurance plans
民主黨的醫保方案將推翻特朗普去年8月發布的一項規定，該規定極大地拓寬了短期醫保方案的銷售市場，
that do not have to cover prescription drugs, maternity care, drug abuse treatment or pre-existing conditions.
而那些短期醫保方案是不一定非要覆蓋處方藥、產科護理、藥物濫用治療或既往病史等方面的。
And it would increase the two main types of financial assistance the law provides:
民主黨的醫保方案還將提高《平價醫療法案》提供的兩種主要財政援助：
tax credits to help low- and middle-income people pay premiums,
為幫助中低收入人群支付保費的稅收抵免，
and cost-sharing reductions to lower deductibles, co-payments and other out-of-pocket costs.
以及降低免賠額、共同支付和其他自付費用的費用分攤折扣。
At Tuesday's news conference, Democrats were eager to remind reporters
在周二的新聞發布會上，民主黨人急切地提醒記者，
that Mr.Trump said in the 2018 campaign that "Republicans will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions."
特朗普曾在2018年的競選活動中表示，“共和黨人會永遠保護有既往病史的患者。”
"We will remind the American people time and time again of that broken promise,"
“我們會不斷地提醒美國人民他們違背了承諾，”
said Representative James E.Clyburn of South Carolina, the No.3 House Democrat.
眾議院民主黨的三號人物，南卡羅萊納議員詹姆斯·E.克萊伯恩說道。
