As President of the United States, Donald Trump has a duty to uphold the rule of law – but in this case, it is disturbingly appar- ent that he is actually determined to sabotage it. Let’s be clear: the Affordable Care Act was not only passed by Congress, but also upheld by the Supreme Court. It has the approv- al of more than half of Americans -- more than the President himself can boast. It has provided 20 mil- lion people – and counting – with access to more affordable, more comprehensive, quality health care services, including women and children, individuals with pre-existing conditions, and com- munities of color. “I have said it before and I will say it again: President Trump does not care about protecting the health of Americans. To end the Affordable Care Act in this way is a desperate maneuver to engineer a political win for his right-wing base, after nearly a year of covert, detrimental action. Over the past 2 days, I have heard many ask, in the face of the President’s willingness to disrupt our health care system without Congressional approval, what can we do now? And the answer is this: We continue to fight for our health care, for what we were promised, for what is our right as Americans. I am urging all of our members to call their senators and represen- tatives in Washington and urge them to defend the Affordable Care Act. And most importantly, if they have not enrolled in a health care plan, we ask them to mark their calendars for the next Open Enrollment period, which starts on Nov. 1st. By enrolling for a quality, af- fordable health care plan, we can not only lift up the Affordable Care Act, but also make our voic- es heard. One thing is certain – the NAACP will fight. For millions of Americans, this is the fight of our lives. Derrick Johnson is interim president and chief executive offi- cer of the NAACP.
