Biden set to deliver Obamacare speech as Supreme Court weighs law's future
Source: CNN
President-elect Joe Biden, who campaigned on a promise to keep and build on Obamacare, is set to deliver a health care-focused speech Tuesday as the Supreme Court hears a case that could overturn the law.
Biden's transition team scheduled a 2 p.m. ET speech on the Affordable Care Act in Wilmington, Delaware.
The speech comes the day Supreme Court justices are hearing oral arguments in a case that seeks to invalidate the landmark health reform law. They will likely take initial votes at their private Friday conference and begin the process of writing opinions, though a decision isn't expected until the first half of 2021.
President Donald Trump's administration is looking to undo former President Barack Obama's signature health law. And even with Biden set to take office on January 20, there is little he can do: Even if his administration switches sides and argues in favor of Obamacare, the case will continue because the original lawsuit was brought by a coalition of Republican attorneys general.
