New National and State Reports Showing the Costs of Repealing the Health Care Law
The White House released a report today underscoring the costs of repealing the Affordable Care Act for millions of Americans. The benefits of the health care law lower costs, new protections, and expanded access to quality, affordable care are real, and the repeal plan pushed by some Republicans in Congress would undermine or eliminate the benefits that millions of middle-class Americans now rely on. The President and supporters of reform are committed to helping ordinary Americans and businesses take advantage of the benefits of the health care law.
THIS IS THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
Repeal Would Raise Costs, Strip Protections from Families Across America
Helping ordinary Americans and businesses take advantage of the benefits of the health care law is a top priority for the President and Democrats in Congress. The Affordable Care Act does more than just give millions of uninsured Americans access to health insurance. It helps Americans who already have insurance feel more secure in their coverage, ensuring itll be there when they need it. This is a pocketbook issue for many middle class families.
The benefits of the health care law are real, and the repeal plan pushed by Republicans in Congress would undermine or eliminate them across the board, reversing critical consumer protections and driving up costs for millions of Americans. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, across the country:
71 million Americans on private insurance have gained coverage for at least one free preventive health care service such as a mammogram, birth control, or an immunization in 2011 and 2012. In the first eleven months of 2013 alone, an additional 25 million people with traditional Medicare have received at least one preventive service at no out of pocket cost.
