Now it's Democratic attorneys general who are seeking to gain political ground from a high-profile legal attack on Obamacare, just as House Democrats did last year.
Today, the Democratic Attorneys General Association [DAGA] is launching a six-figure digital and print ad effort targeting five vulnerable Republican state AGs who are seeking to get the entire Affordable Care Act ruled unconstitutional — a decision that would reverberate throughout the country, with millions of Americans losing their health plans and millions more feeling the huge disruptions to the U.S. health-care system that would result.
The Republicans — who include Indiana's Curtis Hill, Louisiana's Jeff Landry; Missouri's Eric Schmitt; Utah's Sean Reyes and West Virginia's Patrick Morrisey — are among 17 attorneys general who have taken up the mantle of trying to get the ACA scrapped, after congressional Republicans failed in 2017 to repeal the law.
