Senate Republicans are downplaying arguments that the Supreme Court will strike down the Affordable Care Act (ACA) if Amy Coney Barrett is nominated to the high court.
As the Senate holds hearings on Barrett in front of the Judiciary Committee, Democrats have claimed that she would help undo ACA, known as Obamacare, and would strike down mandates for people with preexisting health conditions. A lawsuit is seeking to strike down the ACA in the Supreme Court, coming about a week after Election Day on Nov. 3.
