🧵Thirteen years ago today, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, expanding health care coverage to millions of people and families who now can't be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition.
I'm proud to support this landmark legislation and of the work @HouseDemocrats have done to lower premiums, prescription drug costs, and cap the price of insulin for seniors at $35.
@RepRitchie @HouseDemocrats My Insurance premiums have been going up ever since, and the service I get for my money has been going down ever since. If you think the problems government is trying to solve is bad, wait until you see their solutions.

@RepRitchie @HouseDemocrats It might have helped a few but didn't help the many who still couldn't afford costs and had to get wavers to avoid penalties!
@RepRitchie it saved my life! was laid off a month before retirement and couldn't buy insurance because of preexisting condition. bought Obamacare and it covered my three months in ICU. would have wiped me out without it.
