In advance of today’s launch of arguments on the constitutionality of the mandate before the Supreme Court, the president of the Service Employees International Union asked opponents of ObamaCare to back off.

“The Affordable Care Act is working,” Mary Kay Henry said in a statement. “If you care about the future of this country, move on to a real challenge. Stop playing politics with the health of Americans and stop engaging in threats in the form of lawsuits, refusal of federal dollars and legislative foot dragging. That will not make America great; it will make us broke and sick.”

She called the healthcare law “the great equalizer… there is no 1% or 99%.”

“If you are running false ads against the Affordable Care Act, stop them,” Henry said. “If you are undermining the foundation of Medicaid and Medicare and attempting to embarrass American taxpayers and veterans who depend upon on these essential services, take a moment and remember who built this country.

“While this week underscored that Republican extremists in Congress are happy to continuing stacking the deck against our struggling middle-class and aging parents and grandparents, I would appeal to leaders in our government who truly want America to recover from this recession to focus on what matters most: creating good jobs.”
