During a\u200d campaign\u200d event in Pennsylvania,\u200b Johnson clarified that the \u200dGOP&#8217;s goal is not to eliminate\u200c the\u2064 ACA outright but to enact substantial changes to improve the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/l-a-county-health-officials-urge-residents-to-wear-masks-at-home-to-protect-vulnerable-one-america-news-network\/\" title=\"L.A.
