NASHVILLE – President Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Middle Tennessee on Wednesday.
According to The Tennessean, a White House official said the president plans to discuss how the nation can continue to build on progress made under the Affordable Care Act, which has helped more than 16 million Americans gain health insurance.

The president visited Chattanooga in July 2013, speaking to nearly 2,000 employees at the Amazon fulfillment center at Enterprise South industrial park and pitching a plan to cut corporate taxes.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper issued a statement saying he’s pleased the president is coming back to the area. It will be Obama’s third visit to Middle Tennessee in the past year and a half.
The trip follows a 6-3 Supreme Court decision last week upholding tax credit subsidies for health insurance as part of the health care law.
