Biden to make health care push as Supreme Court vacancy fight looms

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden intends to make a push on health care in the wake of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death as a political fight over the Supreme Court vacancy is already underway.

In the immediate days after Ginsburg's passing, the Biden campaign has not signaled a fundamental shift in its campaign strategy, which has hinged on the coronavirus pandemic and the economy, as President Donald Trump quickly moved to make the Supreme Court vacancy a central issue in his campaign.

Instead, Biden campaign officials say the former vice president plans to make defending the Affordable Care Act and its sweeping protections for pre-existing conditions a key focus, with an aide saying they view the President's efforts to dismantle Obamacare as a motivating issue for voters.

"Make no mistake: the fight to preserve protections for pre-existing conditions is on the ballot," a Biden campaign aide said.

I don't know why Republicans think repealing the ACA is a winner. Do they really believe there would be no backlash if 23 million people were lose healthcare coverage with no replacement?

This is how we seal the deal. Go Joe!!!


The ACA is one of the issues that enough wavering Trump supporters also support. We can win a lot of people this way.
