Dear Friend,
Amazing! It was fourteen years ago today that President Obama signed the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law! Since then, we have reached a record
low uninsured rate, and this past year a historic 21.4 MILLION people
signed up for health care coverage through the Marketplace! [ [link removed] ]
Incredible!
Even with its success—and countless failed attempts to repeal the law over
the past 14 years—Republican leaders are continuing to vow to repeal the
ACA. [ [link removed] ] We won’t allow it!

The ACA works!! We need to protect and expand it. In fact, since the ACA
passed, over 45 million Americans have gotten health care coverage through
the ACA. [ [link removed] ] In addition, the ACA marketplace and the expansion of
Medicaid included in the law, is providing health coverage for these 45
million people at a much lower cost. Four out of five people enrolling in
a Marketplace plan have a plan for less than $10 a month! [ [link removed] ]
The ACA law also helps to protect all of us from discrimination and to
stop bad practices by insurance companies through consumer protections
which are lifting families. The Affordable Care Act does the following
great things to protect our care:
* Bans discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions (like
pregnancy, c-sections, or breast cancer)
* Bans lifetime caps on coverage so that people with serious or chronic
illnesses don’t lose coverage when they need it most
* Requires adult children to be allowed to stay on their parent’s plans
until age 26
* Prohibits insurance companies from charging women more than men for
insurance
* Requires all new insurance plans to cover preventive services at no
cost—like check-ups, well-child visits, birth control, cancer
screenings, and vaccines
If Republican members of Congress succeed at repealing the ACA, it would
eliminate these consumer protections, rip away coverage for millions, and
drive up costs for millions more. Not on our watch!

Dear Congress,
Everyone deserves to have access to health care. The Affordable Care Act
(ACA) has brought our nation’s uninsured rate to a record low—you must
protect and expand it!
Since the ACA passed, about 46 million people have gained health
coverage through the Marketplace and about 24 million people have gained
coverage through Medicaid. In addition, more than 100 million Americans
with pre-existing conditions are protected from discrimination by health
insurance companies, and health disparities have decreased while health
outcomes have improved for communities of color, rural Americans, and
people with disabilities.
The ACA is lifting families and boosting our economy! Congress must
protect the ACA and build on its success. Please work together to expand
access to health care for ALL people, lower health care costs for
families, and preserve the consumer protections included in the law.
