00:00:00.340 --> 00:00:04.160
Democrats united in their message today 
one after another, arguing that her 

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.720
nomination puts health care coverage for 
millions of Americans, including 

00:00:07.720 --> 00:00:12.060
pre existing conditions on the line with 
that major case before the court just 

00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:16.410
days after the election, Democrats also 
united in warning that Justice Barrett 

00:00:16.410 --> 00:00:21.060
would strike down the Affordable Care act 
just when they say Americans are needed 

00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:25.990
most for years. For years Merit put off going to the 
doctor because he was like many Americans, 

00:00:25.990 --> 00:00:29.720
afraid he could not afford it. Carrie, from 
Middletown, Delaware, used to pay 

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:35.010
$800 a month for junk insurance, as she called 
it. Democrats didn't focus on her 

00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:40.130
faith, highlighting instead constituents 
who they said could lose their healthcare 

00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:46.280
coverage if Barret joins the court. Kenny 
is a really person whose life depends 

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:51.300
on the affordable Care Act. They pointed 
to Barrett's comments from 2017 when 

00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:56.140
she argued that Chief Justice John Roberts 
had pushed Obama care beyond it's 

00:00:56.140 --> 00:01:01.370
plausible meaning in order to save it. Remarkably 
united one after another the 

00:01:01.370 --> 00:01:05.490
Democrats argued that this confirmation 
threatens all Americans healthcare 

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:09.730
and the protections for pre existing conditions. 
Stripping healthcare from 

00:01:09.730 --> 00:01:15.540
millions of Americans during a pandemic 
that's really what is at stake. This 

00:01:15.550 --> 00:01:23.060
isn't Donald Trump's country. It is yours. 
This shouldn't be Donald Trump's 

00:01:23.070 --> 00:01:25.180
judge. It should be yours.
