By ruling in favor of President Trump and against the Affordable Care Act, the 5th Circuit has endangered a law that has been incredibly effective since its passage in 2010. All told, more than 20 million Americans have gained health coverage as a result of the law. If the courts find the law unconstitutional because of a Republican lawsuit, the number of uninsured would skyrocket. In California alone, the health care consumer group Families USA predicts 3.8 million individuals could lose coverage. And all Americans with pre-existing conditions, some 135 million nationwide, could lose protections. It would be a disaster. It's time for Republicans to stop their war on the Affordable Care Act and join with us to make it stronger. It's a successful law that has revolutionized health insurance in America. Stop trying to undermine it. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
