Supporting Obamacare // Gov. Terry McAuliffe, left, and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine rally Virginians against Republican plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, during an event last Sunday in Capital Square. Nearly 1,000 people attended the event, which was joined by several other state, local and federal elected officials, including Lt. Gov. Ralph S. Northam, Rep. A. Donald McEachin of Richmond and Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott of Newport News. The rally at the Bell Tower was one of dozens held across the United States last weekend to coalesce support for saving the health insurance program. Republicans have made repeal of the Affordable Care Act a priority with the election of President-elect Donald Trump. More than 400,000 Virginians and 20 million Americans have enrolled in health insurance plans since the law was passed in 2010. Sen. Kaine, who ran unsuccessfully as the Democratic vice presidential candidate, is encouraging Virginians to share how the ACA has helped them or a family member, or to offer suggestions for improvement.
