The former president of the United State, Barack Obama in a post disclosed that more than 50 million people have benefited from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) he signed into law 15 years ago.
Obama reinstated that ‘health care is not just a privilege but a right for every single American,’ emphasizing the need to keep fighting for change in order to progress as a country.
According to the former president: “I know it can feel like a different era sometimes. But fifteen years ago, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law. Now nearly 50 million people have received health care through the ACA.
“With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the Affordable Care Act is a reminder that change is possible when we keep fighting for progress
“I’ve always said that the ACA is like a starter house: it was a big step forward, but still just a first step. There’s no question that we still have work to do to make sure health care is a right and not a privilege in America.
“Now it’s up to all of us to keep building on and improving the ACA until everyone has access to quality, affordable healthcare.” He urged
