Affordable Care Act recipients nervous about Supreme Court nomination fight
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - Like a lot of Arizonans who rely on the Affordable Care Act for health coverage, Macros Castillo is worried about its future.
Nineteen years ago, Castillo survived a car crash that left him paralyzed from the collar bone down and depends on the 10-year-old health care law for his otherwise costly coverage.
"The ACA is a tool that we have gotten in the last decade that has really been able to help people with disabilities get above poverty. It's not just about our health, it's about our quality of life," said Castillo, who also suffers from an autoimmune disease.
The death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has opened up a vacancy on the high court that could determine the future of the ACA, also known as "ObamaCare."
