Twelve years ago, when President Obama signed the #AffordableCareAct into law, our nation took an historic step toward fulfilling a fundamental promise: that health care is a right, not a privilege.
Today, our nation celebrates this landmark law’s essential role in safeguarding Americans’ health and preserving families’ hard-earned savings through quality, affordable insurance.
The Affordable Care Act stands alongside Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security as a pillar of health and financial security – especially for the 130 million Americans living with pre-existing conditions, who now enjoy life-saving protections.
Last year, amid the darkness of the pandemic, Democrats took action to expand the promise of the Affordable Care Act to lower health costs even further for millions more families.
Meanwhile, Republicans continue to promise to wage a shameful assault on the Affordable Care Act, threatening to rip away protections and coverage from millions of working families.
In the face of these cruel Republican attacks, Democrats will never relent in our fight to defend working families. Today, werenew our commitment to #BuildingaBetterAmerica and lowering health care costs and prescription drug prices.
