ly that – are a new low, even for
a White House that has defended
white supremacists, condoned
sexual harassment, and lied to the
public.
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.

cer of the NAACP.
