Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act - commonly referred to as ObamaCare - is providing millions of Americans with the high-quality, affordable health insurance they need. Congressional Republicans, however, are determined to repeal the law with no clear replacement plan, which would rip away health insurance from 24 million Americans.

Five years ago, our nation moved away from an increasingly expensive and inaccessible health-care system. We finally declared that health care is not a privilege for a few, but a right for all Americans. Five years later, through the Affordable Care Act, all Americans now have a health-care system with vital protections, and more affordable and accessible coverage.

Op-Ed

The debate on trade in Congress is not about whether Democrats support trade, or whether we take the side of businesses or labor; it's about getting trade right. Indeed, because of our efforts, the most recent trade agreements to pass Congress were updated to include enforceable worker rights, environmental standards, and provisions to safeguard access to medicines to combat AIDS and other diseases around the globe.
