To: The U.S. Supreme Court
Sign the People’s Brief to help protect the ACA!
Health care is a human right. That’s why I’m signing this People’s Brief to call on the opponents of the health care law to put the health of millions of Americans ahead of selfish political attacks on the Affordable Care Act.
Why is this important?
A People's Brief is our version of a public amicus brief - a letter showing the Supreme Court the impact of their decision and what is at stake.
The U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing King v. Burwell, a case that threatens to eliminate the financial assistance for health coverage in about 36 states as part of the Affordable Care Act.
If the court rules against the health care law, millions will be at risk of losing their health plans and costs would go up for all health insurance consumers. Yes, you read that right. Millions of people could lose their health coverage.
Fight back by adding your name to MomsRising's message and to the “People’s Brief” to stand with the millions of Americans whose health care is in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices!

The Affordable Care Act is working, and it’s already made a difference in millions of people’s lives. More than 10 million people have health coverage now who didn’t have it before. For example, families no longer have to choose between going bankrupt and getting treatment for a sick child and being a woman is no longer considered a pre-existing condition by health plans.
If the U.S. Supreme Court guts the law through the King v. Burwell case, which begins this week, it will cause a lasting health care crisis that will have a deep impact on practically everyone in this country. Health care premiums will skyrocket between 35 to 47 percent. Between 8 to 10 million people who already stretch their dollars to make ends meet would lose their health insurance altogether. An additional 5 million children would lose insurance. The consequences will be catastrophic: nearly 10,000 additional Americans would die each year because of lost coverage.
