United States \u2013 a pending lawsuit in federal court, on behalf of the U.S. Senate, in order to defend the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act and its coverage protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Earlier this year, the Trump Administration filed a brief in this case calling for the courts to strike down the ACA in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p>Last Congress, then-Congresswoman Rosen introduced the same resolution in the House. Rosen\u2019s House resolution was co-sponsored by the Ranking Members of all House committees of jurisdiction in addition to Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer. The resolution had nearly 190 co-sponsors by the end of the 115th Congress.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Senator Rosen also helped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/rosen-helps-introduce-resolution-urging-newly-confirmed-attorney-general-barr-defend-health-care\/\">introduce a resolution<\/a> that would provide the sense of the Senate that the Justice Department should reverse its policy of refusing to defend the constitutionality of the ACA, including the law\u2019s coverage protections for those with pre-existing conditions, in Texas v.
