@BarackObama
The day that the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments — and @JoeBiden
was right by my side to get it done.

The future of the ACA hangs in the balance in this election. We've come too far to go back — and we've got to do everything we can to protect it.

Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker
The protection and access that the Affordable Care Act provides has assisted millions and millions of Americans. Democrats remain committed, just as we were 14 years ago when passing Obamacare, to ensuring every American has a right to health care.

Obamacare allowed people with pre-existing conditions to get health insurance with no strings attached. Prior to Obamacare (#ACA), many group plans (to include private AND employer-sponsored plans) required a 12-month waiting period to get coverage for pre-e: xisting conditions.

Obamacare transformed the healthcare landscape COMPLETELY

So much so we take it for granted

2. It has been FOURTEEN years???

My fav quote from that day:

“Now, thanks to health care reform, millions of working families will go to bed at night knowing that they are not an illness away from financial ruin.” - Conservative hack, David Brooks, the “Pope of Bothsiderism”*

And millions more climb on board each year as the deniers in the red states ‘suddenly’ see what staring them in the face because the REPUBLICANS they elected blocked them!
