WATCH LIVE: 1:00pm, POTUS is hosting an event commemorating the 13th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, being signed into law.
Despite being the signature piece of legislation from President Barack Obama's eight years in office, he is not expected to attend the event at the White House.
Authors of the legislation say it aimed to reduce the number of people who do not have health insurance, while seeking to provide more affordable coverage options by expanding Medicaid, public health insurance for low income individuals, and the creation of exchanges that provided subsidized plans.Republicans decried the law for years after it was passed, especially the individual mandate, which required citizens get a basic level of health insurance or be penalized.
The law also survived various Supreme Court challenges, including in 2012 when a majority opinion ruled the individual mandate was legal based on Congress' taxing power.
