With the 10-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act fast approaching, former President Obama highlighted the landmark health reform law's benefits in a new video emphasizing that voters protected Obamacare in the 2018 midterm elections.
"With your help, it's the closest we've ever come to universal coverage in America," Obama said in the 90-second clip released by Protect Our Care, a liberal advocacy group."There are people alive today because of what you did. There are 135 million Americans whose pre-existing conditions are now protected because of what you did."He added,"That's something worth celebrating, but it's also progress worth protecting.
Last week, the Supreme Court announced it will hear a case that will likely decide the fate of the ACA sometime next term -- presumably after the presidential election. The lawsuit, brought by a coalition of Republican attorneys general, centers on whether the Affordable Care Act can continue to stand even after Congress effectively eliminated the law's individual mandate requirement that nearly Americans have coverage or pay a penalty.
