What happens when an uninsured American gets sick or becomes injured? In the past it meant a trip to the emergency room to receive expensive care that most likely could have been administered in a primary care office — and if a patient couldn’t pay, the hospital would have to write off the cost of treatment. That, of course resulted in the rising costs being passed off to the consumer. Now we are seeing first hand the progress and positive outcome of affordable insurance for every American; and it has the GOP running scared. Despite temporary website glitches, Obamacare is a success.

Watch how Peter Nugent went from working two jobs with no health insurance to having his healthcare needs met and exceeded with the help of the Affordable Care Act.
