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.

Copy, paste. The GOP’s same non-plan gets recycled.

Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch, House Commerce Chairman Fred Upton, and Senator Richard Burr sent out a press release announcing their party’s “plan” to replace the Affordable Care Act. New? Hardly. They even used the exact same press release they sent a year ago. Not to mention, there’s still no bill.

You could be forgiven for having overlooked a Politico story on Friday that reported that Republican leaders have put together a working group to replace the ACA. Had you read it, however, you might have asked yourself: Seriously, haven’t we heard this before?

Op-Ed

House Republicans are bringing up a double whammy on Thursday – ending health care from their employer or altogether for millions of Americans and hugely increasing the deficit by nearly $46 billion over 10 years. The legislation they've proposed would amend the employer responsibility provisions of the Affordable Care Act to redefine full-time work from 30 hours a week to 40 hours.

Op-Ed

The Affordable Care Act was created to improve the quality and affordability of health care for all Americans. Indeed, many people who didn't have — and couldn't afford — health insurance before the law have it now.

As the New England Journal of Medicine recently determined, an estimated 10 million Americans gained health insurance between September 2013 and this past April, and most of them received financial help to make their coverage affordable.
