'Under political attack right when we need care the most': Obama encourages protection of Affordable Care Act

Former President Barack Obama celebrated the 10-year anniversary of his signing of the Affordable Care Act into law by urging lawmakers to work to protect it.

"Ten years ago today, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law," Obama tweeted Monday. "It protected preexisting conditions, cut the uninsured rate in half, and lots more. But it's still under political attack right when we need care the most. We have to protect it, build on it, until we cover everyone."

The former president said in a video attached to his tweet that passing the healthcare law "meant more" to him than the day he was elected.

Obama ruined the healthcare system. My company provided health care for its employees until that piece of garbage passed then it was far too expensive. Obamacare only works for those who dont!

Well well well. Didn't Pelsoi state to Congress to approve the ACA and then read it later. Now she wants her wish list attached to the coronvirous bill. A pattern here. Do as I say - you all will love it. Time to stop this way of governing. Each bill should be voted on not attached to the principal bill. The Coronvirous would have been passed by now. Eliminate lobbyist for Democrats.

Who do you think really benefitted from Obama care - doctors. I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me Obama got a cut on his ACA. Why do you think he is rich. How many manisons does he own now - all on a 100,000 + government paycheck. I don't think so. He doesn't have a product to sell so where is they money coming from - big business he secretly helped

Useless Obama should shut up and disappear. Obama and Michelle became millionaires off the US tax Payer and put the US on a path of destruction. Obama destroyed our Healthcare system.

I personally do not care what Obama has to say about Obamacare. He ruined this country with that travesty of Insurance. This is when the medical Insurance field raised prices on everything. If you were still paying penalties this year you would be paying about $3,000 if you did not have insurance to the IRS. This was nothing more than a bunch of LIES put together by the Democratic Party to line their pockets. After all at least 128 members of Congress own stock in Pharmaceuticals.

Barack, why don't you go and do something other than trying to inject your presidency into this one. You had two chances and left most things worse off than how you found them?
Hillary Clinton as secretary of state -- that one is going to come back on you in a large way.

Obama is still working on getting his 3rd term through Biden. Biden will be a puppet to Obama and Hillary. Why else would Democrats support someone who will probably die in office. If you think paying for 3 funerals for McGain was unbelievable - if Biden gets elected and dies in office you will see a funeral in every State. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
