16 years ago, President @BarackObama signed the Affordable Care Act into law — guaranteeing millions of Americans access to affordable, quality health care. Today, we celebrate the progress. And we fight to protect it. #ProtectOurCare

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake. usatoday.com/story/news/poli…

Dennis wrote my office to tell me how much the ACA tax credits mean to him and his wife. I called him back to learn more. He’s on Medicare, but his wife’s premiums could jump from $440 to $1,100 a month without the tax credit. That’s going to eat away at the retirement they’ve been saving for all their lives. I’m fighting for people like them.

If Republicans rip away the ACA's tax credits, they aren't hurting billionaires — they are hurting teachers, farmers, and parents trying to keep their kids healthy.

In western MN, some people will see their health insurance premiums double if Congressional Republicans refuse to act. In Moorhead, a family of four could see their monthly premiums increase from less than $200 to more than $500—an increase of $4,100 a year.

New Jerseyans like Mary know just how important the ACA marketplace can be. That’s why Democrats are fighting to lower your health care costs. Even if you don’t need insurance from the marketplace now, everyone deserves quality, affordable health care.

These are the stories of everyday Americans whose lives have been saved by the ACA, and there are so many more stories like theirs. Now we’ve got to do all we can to ensure that future generations are able to have the health care they need, too.

Shortly after Anthony was born, he needed to get a heart transplant. Because of the ACA, Anthony will not be denied health coverage or labeled for having a pre-existing condition — which prevented so many from getting coverage in the past.

When Steven was only 26-years-old, he was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia. If it wasn’t for the Medicaid expansion in the ACA, Steven says he wouldn’t have been able to afford the medication he has to take for the rest of his life.

Over the years, I’ve been moved by so many of you who’ve shared how the Affordable Care Act has transformed your lives and allowed you to get the coverage you need. I wanted to share some of those stories with you and I hope you’ll share your story, too.

Fourteen years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law. Afterwards, one Republican member of the House called the ACA the “most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress.” Another predicted the country would “never recover from it.” But then something else happened: it actually worked.
