quote [ In this Special Communication, President Barack Obama reviews the Affordable Care Act: why he pursued it, what it has effected, and how the health care system can still be improved. ]
"The ACA has succeeded in sharply increasing insurance coverage. Since the ACA became law, the uninsured rate has declined by 43%, from 16.0% in 2010 to 9.1% in 2015," "Early evidence indicates that expanded coverage is improving access to treatment, financial security, and health for the newly insured" "The law has also greatly improved health insurance coverage for people who already had it." "Multiple sources also indicate that the overall share of health care costs that enrollees in employer coverage pay out of pocket has been close to flat since 2010"
