With a Supreme Court decision around the corner, the American people are making themselves clear.  A majority of Americans oppose the Court cutting subsidies for millions who now have quality affordable health care. Republican presidential candidates should be paying attention. From Greg Sargent at The Washington Post<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/06/08/morning-plum-in-battleground-states-voters-dont-want-supreme-court-to-gut-subsidies/>:

"the states with the highest numbers of people who stand to lose subsidies if the Supreme Court guts them also happen to be the main presidential and Senate battleground states. That overlap could increase the political stakes in the battle that will follow any Court ruling against the ACA.

Now a new Washington Post poll<http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/06/08/public-to-supreme-court-dont-gut-obamacare/> confirms the stakes here. It finds that in many key battleground states, a majority says the Court should not end subsidies for those on the federal exchange.

And the latest from PPP finds that 62% of Americans<http://aufc.3cdn.net/157435c2e2aba28e63_30m6bn3c5.pdf> want Congress to fix the law to guarantee that all Americans, regardless of the state they live in, are guaranteed equal subsidies.

So when the GOP field continues to threaten repeal of the Affordable Care Act, they should remember it's working and the American people don't want to see their friends and neighbors lose the subsidies that make their insurance more affordable.
