Progressive health care reform advocates plan to demonstrate in defense of the Affordable Care Act on Thursday, holding protest events in Chicago and congressional districts across the country, as well as in Washington, D.C.
The day of rallies is the latest attempt by supporters of the ACA, also known as Obamacare, to put a political price on Republicans’ plans to repeal the signature reform. The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on the GOP’s replacement bill Thursday, the seventh anniversary of the original law’s passage in 2010.
