50 Million People Now Covered Under Affordable Care Act, Obama and Biden Celebrate Milestone

Washington, D.C. — Former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden are celebrating a historic achievement: 50 million people have gained health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as “Obamacare,” since its inception nearly 15 years ago. This landmark milestone highlights the significant impact the ACA has had in expanding access to affordable health care for millions of Americans.

In a message shared on social media, Obama expressed his pride in the success of the ACA, stating, “50 million people have now gotten health care coverage thanks to the Affordable Care Act. That’s something we’ll always be proud of.” He reinforced the principle behind the law, adding, “Health care is not, and never will be, a privilege — it’s a right.”

Today, we made history.

President Biden also marked the occasion, acknowledging the progress made and vowing to continue efforts to improve health care access. “Today, we made history,” Biden said. “In the nearly 15 years since Barack and I made the Affordable Care Act law, 50 million people have enrolled in health care through the ACA Marketplace. Let’s keep fighting to give millions more the peace of mind they deserve.”

Since its passage in 2010, the ACA has transformed the American health care landscape by providing coverage to individuals previously unable to afford health insurance, especially those with pre-existing conditions. The Biden administration has been working to further improve the program by making coverage even more affordable and accessible.

As the ACA continues to evolve, both leaders remain committed to ensuring that health care remains a right for all Americans.
