WASHINGTON (Nexstar) - Democrats are vowing to protect Obamacare days after the White House expanded their efforts to repeal it.
President Donald Trump wants the courts to strike down the Affordable Care Act in its entirety.
"We don't want Obamacare anymore because it's unconstitutional. And it doesn't work for the American people," said White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley.
Democrats warn that if Obamacare is struck down, some 20 million Americans would lose health care.
"The wholesale elimination of the health care law would send our system into certain chaos," said Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y).
It's been less than two years since Republicans tried but failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Leslie Dach, the founder and chair of Protect Our Care, says he is shocked by the White House's efforts to kill the program again.
