ACA is here to stay! GOP move on.
Plain and simple, the Affordable Care Act is the law. It is popular, essential, and constitutional. Cease the frivolous attacks on this law that threaten the health care and well-being of the American public—and move on.
Why is this important?
Huge and tremendously good news: The U.S. Supreme Court preserved Obamacare in a stunning 6-3 decision in the case of King v. Burwell!
This means that no one will lose health care—or their lives—because of a partisan, ideological lawsuit based on only four words. While observers hoped for a win, few expected that Obamacare would be saved by such a resounding majority, or that the majority would protect the law from future sabotage by a Republican presidential administration.
Twice Republicans have tried to defeat Obamacare in the Supreme Court, and failed. Dozens of times they have tried to dismantle it, and been defeated. Even now, the party's 2016 standard-bearers are rushing to promise they will repeal it completely, over the objections of most Americans.
But we're not going to let that happen.
Right now, we have a huge opportunity to tip the scales of public debate and make Republicans pay a price for their radical desire to rob millions of their health care, and we need to speak out.
