Joe Biden Says Amy Coney Barrett's Confirmation to Supreme Court Threatens Affordable Health Care

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has criticized Amy Coney Barrett's "rushed and unprecedented" Supreme Court confirmation while raising concerns over what it could mean for the future of the Affordable Care Act.

Donald Trump has persisted with his critiques of the act, also known as "Obamacare," recently saying he hopes the Supreme Court will end it.

The court will hear a case seeking to dismantle it just a week after Election Day, with Barrett's appointment seen as boosting the prospect of a challenge to the act being successful.

"The rushed and unprecedented confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett as Associate Justice to the Supreme Court, in the middle of an ongoing election, should be a stark reminder to every American that your vote matters," Biden said in a statement on her confirmation.
