11 Top Reasons to Love OBAMACAREObamaCare (the Affordable Care Act, or ACA for short), helps all Americans. Millions of Americans—from the women who can now access free checkups to the seniors saving on their prescriptions to the 105 million people that have seen lifetime limits on their insurance coverage lifted—can continue to enjoy these important benefits. Once the President is re-elected, with the partnership of a Democratic Congress, he will move forward on refining and improving the American Health Care System in ways that continue to benefit the American people even more. We will see improvements such as the creation of new state insurance exchanges, more in-control rate changes, and initiatives that make decent health care affordable for ALL Americans.
