Before Supreme Court justices weigh the fate of the 2010 health-care overhaul this month, the White House is helping to coordinate efforts to showcase the law’s most popular provisions and blunt relentless Republican attacks.

Dozens of consumer, church and public health groups plan events including a prayer vigil to rally support for the health-care overhaul as the Supreme Court holds arguments on the measure March 26 to 28. About 100 supporters met at the White House on March 7 to discuss a coordinated response, according to an administration official who declined to speak on the record because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the gathering.
