This is the #DemPartyPlatform for 2020. This section is called: ACHIEVING UNIVERSAL, AFFORDABLE, QUALITY HEALTH CARE
Only one party has a specific plan for ensuring EVERY American will have access to quality healthcare as a human right..the other fights to TAKE IT AWAY. 1/10

Because of the Obama-Biden Administration and the #AffordableCareAct, more than 100 million Americans with #PreExistingConditions from heart disease to asthma, are secure in the knowledge that insurance companies can no longer discriminate against them. 3/9 #DemPartyPlatform
Because of the #AffordableCareAct, Women can no longer be charged more than men just because of their gender. And more Americans are able to get health coverage than ever before.4/9 #DemPartyPlatform #Healthcare
#Democrats will keep up the fight until all Americans can access secure, affordable, high-quality health insurance—because as Democrats, we fundamentally believe health care is a right for all, not a privilege for the few. 5/9 #DemPartyPlatform #healthcare

In the midst of the worst global pandemic in generation..one that has left more than 200,000 Americans dead and counting-the Trump Administration is fighting in court to invalidate the entirety of the #AffordableCareAct and eliminate insurance for tens of millions of people. 9/9
