Letter to the Hon. William Barr, Attorney General for the Dept. of Justice - Durbin, Duckworth, Senate Democrats To Attorney General Barr: Drop Lawsuit To Gut The Affordable Care Act
Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Oct. 20, 2020
Tweet - "Meet Susan. Susan is a 5th generation farmer from New Berlin, Illinois. She's also a two-time cancer fighter who relies on the Affordable Care Act's protections for pre-existing conditions. Republicans want to take those protections away. I'm in this fight for Susan."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 20, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans are rushing to confirm Judge Barrett as part of their plan to strike down the ACA & its protections for pre-existing conditions. That would be a disaster for Americans fighting cancer--like Jared Ray from Buffalo Grove, IL. I'm fighting for Jared."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 19, 2020
Tweet - "Republicans are rushing forward with their plan to confirm Judge Barrett before Election Day. They want a right-wing 6-3 Supreme Court majority to end the Affordable Care Act, overturn Roe v. Wade, & undo progress in marriage equality. That's what at stake this week."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 19, 2020
Tweet - "The Affordable Care Act provides protections for more than 100 million Americans with pre-existing conditions. That includes cancer, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, depression & COVID-19. We can't let Republicans take those protections away."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 17, 2020
Tweet - "More than 100M Americans with pre-existing conditions, like Kenny Murray of Tinley Park, rely on the Affordable Care Act's protections. On November 10, Pres. Trump & Republicans will argue in the Supreme Court to strike down the entire ACA. I'm on Kenny's team in this fight."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 16, 2020
Tweet - "Today I was joined by Illinoisans who are worried about what will happen to their health care if the President and Republicans succeed in rushing this SCOTUS vacancy and eliminating the ACA."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 16, 2020
Tweet - "Due to the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic, millions of American workers have lost their jobs & health coverage through no fault of their own. Together with defending the ACA, we need a plan to help them keep their health care. My op-ed in @thehill :"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 16, 2020
Tweet - "Pres. Trump was clear: he wants Supreme Court justices who will help him end the Affordable Care Act. Judge Barrett's hearing did not reassure us that the law is safe. Will two more Senate Rs stand up for Americans with pre-existing conditions & oppose this rush to confirmation?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 16, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 15, 2020
Tweet - "Meet Nate. Nate was born with a rare liver disease called biliary atresia & required a liver transplant at just 10 months old. If Republicans succeed in eliminating the Affordable Care Act, Nate could become uninsurable due to his pre-existing condition. I'm fighting for Nate."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 14, 2020
Tweet - "There is an orange cloud hanging over this Supreme Court nomination, the first to be considered after July 1 of an election year. Millions of Americans are already voting. Their voices should be heard. Republicans are rushing it though because they want to eliminate the ACA."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 14, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 14, 2020

Oct. 12, 2020
