Democratic Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown is blasting most of his colleagues in the Senate and President Trump for proceeding ahead with appointment of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice who could decide the fate of the Affordable Care Act.
Brown says when Republicans in congress tried to gut the Affordable Care Act, Americans spoke loud and clear. Now, Brown says the Republicans are trying to get rid鈥� of the health care program by appointing a Supreme Court Justice that they think will do it for them.
鈥淧eople aren鈥檛 going to stand by and watch a bunch of millionaire Senators and judges with good health care, all paid for by taxpayers, trying to take away their health care and silence their own voice in their own government," Brown says.
Republicans say voters trust them to make this appointment so they will forge ahead with the confirmation hearings of Judge Amy Coney Barrett who has written opinions in the past that appear to make her sympathetic with the effort to scrap the national health insurance program.
