Democrats turn focus to health care for Supreme Court fight
Democrats are increasingly focusing on health care in pushing back on President Trump's expected Supreme Court nominee, with Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez warning Saturday that a bolstered conservative majority on the court could vote to overturn ObamaCare.
Perez, speaking on NBC's "Today" show, warned that the issue of health care is at stake both in the presidential election on Nov. 3 and one week later when the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in a Trump administration-backed lawsuit seeking to strike down the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
"Health care is on the ballot on Nov. 3. Health care is on the docket on Nov. 10. And we are going to remind voters every single day," Perez said.
"The American people with preexisting conditions understand that the Republicans had control of everything in 2017. They couldn’t get rid of ObamaCare because the American people understand how important protections for people with preexisting conditions are. So now they’re trying to do another end run," he added.
