The future of the Affordable Care Act with a Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court doesn't necessarily mean a vote to end the GOP's perpetual punching bag.
Here at The Health 202, we wrote yesterday that Democrats feared a rightward turn of the court would solidify the ACA's spot, in addition to Roe v. Wade, on the endangered list. And since past Republican efforts to dismantle the health-care law only made it more popular with voters, Democrats are eager to cast Kavanaugh (as they would have with any Trump pick to the high court) as a threat to its existence.
But even legal experts who support the ACA aren't convinced that Kavanaugh will take the hard-line approach to Obamacare that conservatives long to see.
