Every time McConnell's lips move, he lies. McConnell himself has voted SIXTY SEVEN TIMES to overturn the #ACA. His state is among those petitioning to end the #ACA as an unjust law. The law protects #PreExistingConditions. It comes before #SCOTUS mid-November. Barrett will vote.
Trump filed to have #ACA struck down on June 25, with specific attention to the #PreExistingConditions clause of the law. If Trump thought #AmyConeyBarrett would vote against him, he would never have nominated her. This is how a 6-3 #SCOTUS begins: ending healthcare for millions.

There are 131M people with chronic illnesses--#PreExistingConditions--in the US. Everything from your kid's #asthma to your dad's #diabetes. 1 in 5 has a mental illness. 81M have a #disability. ALL THESE PEOPLE WOULD LOSE THEIR #HEALTHCARE. #ACA law regulates insurance.
The #ACA also provides tax subsidies for people making under $150k so they can buy more affordable plans (since we are the only country without UHC). It also protects #Medicare recipients. And opens #Medicaid to more working poor. All that would go when the SCOTUS rules.
