Today, Democrats highlighted health care and the impacts Americans would face in the middle of a pandemic without the protections of the Affordable Care Act. President Trump has promised to only appoint justices to the Supreme Court who support overturning the ACA. Now, Senate Republicans are trying to install Judge Amy Coney Barrett on the court to accomplish what they couldn’t do through legislation — completely overturn the ACA. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Trump’s lawsuit, California v. Texas, one week after election day. If successful, the lawsuit would rip coverage from more than 20 million Americans and remove protections for more than 135 million Americans with a pre-existing condition.
