ACA has done much for many Americans
Over time, many good Democrats have sacrificed their political careers to vote that Americans receive the health insurance benefits the Affordable Care Act has attempted to provide them.
Throughout Obama’s presidency, the do-nothing Congress used obstruction, over their objection to what the ACA has done for our country, to thwart important legislation, even a vote on a Supreme Court justice.
Here is what the ACA has done.
Today, only 8.6 percent of Americans are uninsured. The law helps eliminate indigent care and extend Medicaid’s existence. It provided Medicaid expansion to those most vulnerable, though some Republican governors denied it for their constituents. It helped women and strengthened mental health coverage.
