The 14th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has sparked a wave of support and reflection across the United States, highlighting the significant impact the legislation has had on the healthcare landscape. Since its enactment, the ACA has provided protections for over 100+ million Americans with pre-existing conditions, preventing insurance companies from refusing coverage. This landmark legislation has also led to a record number of Americans, over 21 million, enrolling in health coverage, marking the highest enrollment rate in its history. The ACA's success in expanding healthcare access and affordability has been celebrated by Democrats, who have vowed to continue defending and expanding the act against Republican efforts to repeal it. The anniversary has been marked by statements from key political figures, including President Barack Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, emphasizing the ACA's role in lowering healthcare costs, expanding coverage, and improving the quality of care for millions of Americans. With the support of the ACA Marketplaces, investments from the Inflation Reduction Act and the American Rescue Plan, and initiatives like the one in SW Ohio where 37,000 individuals enrolled for as little as $10 or less per month, the ACA remains a cornerstone of American healthcare, with supporters rallying to protect and build upon its achievements.
