Leading House Democrats, backed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are unveiling broad legislation to shore up the Affordable Care Act. The bill will get a vote in the House, but as a package it has no chance of passing the Republican-controlled Senate. It's rare for the Justice Department to decline to defend a federal law. Since Trump took office, the federal health insurance market, HealthCare.gov, has lost more than 1 million customers. The House Democrats' legislation is being introduced by three major committee leaders: Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., Energy and Commerce Chairman Frank Pallone, D-N.J., and Education and Labor Chairman Bobby Scott, D-Va.
