U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath [D-GA) questions witnesses a House Judiciary Committee hearing on police brutality and racial profiling on June 10, 2020 in Washington, DC.

So I’m asking you, sir, not to gamble with American lives. Not to gamble with my life. And I’d like you to confirm that if the president has no other plan in place by October, you will reverse course and drop your position that — I quote you directly — “the entire ACA must fall.”

The attorney general responded by noting that he has two children who are cancer survivors.

“I have two children who are cancer survivors, so I feel very strongly about this issue as a matter of policy,” said Barr. “And I believe that the president’s made clear that he will ensure—”

 

But before Barr could finish his response, McBath interjected, “Sir, please answer my question. Will you stop playing politics with Americans health care in the middle of a pandemic?”

“I’m not playing politics,” said Barr. “I’m a lawyer. I’m not in charge of healthcare policy.”

“Will you reverse your course?” said McBath, shouting over him. “Will you reverse your course and make sure that millions of Americans like me, that depend on healthcare and treatment to stay alive, will you reverse your course to make sure that we have the ability to be able to live in this country freely with quality healthcare?”

“People will have the healthcare protection and it will be accomplished either if I lose — if the government loses the case…” Barr replied calmly.

“I take this as a no,” McBath said, again before he could finish.

“…if the Supreme Court strikes it down…,” Barr continued.

“I take this as a no,” McBath repeated.

“…based on history…,” said Barr.

“I’d like to go on,” said McBath.
