This week, we celebrate the 14th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. I was proud to help pass this historic legislation, which fundamentally changed the landscape of American health care.
The ACA has expanded health care coverage to millions of Americans, saved lives, driven down costs, and ensured that people can’t be discriminated against because of their medical history.
Since its enactment, Republicans have tried time and time again to dismantle the ACA and sabotage Americans’ health care. With the GOP vying for control of the Senate and Donald Trump on the ballot this year, we can be sure they’ll only ramp up their attacks.
Conservatives want to completely eliminate the Affordable Care Act, regardless of who is harmed or what it costs our country. If they succeed, millions of Americans would lose their health insurance, premiums would drastically increase, and prescription drug costs would skyrocket.
It would be devastating, Ben, particularly for those who already face barriers to care, including seniors, lower-income families, women, and those with pre-existing conditions.
The ACA improves the health and lives of Americans everywhere to this day, but our fight for lower costs, expanded access, and better health care outcomes for all is far from over.
Stand with me and defend affordable, quality health care for all.
Thanks for all you do.
