Twenty states dominated by Democrats are asking the United States Supreme Court to save the Affordable Care Act, otherwise called Obamacare, and California is among those states. The Democrats want justices to quickly take up a lawsuit that seeks to cancel Obamacare and make a decision before the November elections. They say drawing this out will only damage the nation's health care system.
The Trump administration is backing the legal challenge to Obamacare, and it's been moving through the court system for nearly two years. Over eight-million people signed up for insurance under the ACA this year.
