Now it depends on all of us to continue building and improving the here.”

“I know that sometimes it may seem a different era. But 15 years ago, I signed the Law of Health Care at a low price. Now, almost 50 million people have received medical care through the ACA,” Obama said. “With everything that happens at this time, it is easy to feel that regular people cannot make a difference, but the act of affordable care is a reminder that change is possible when we continue to fight for progress.”

Despite Obama’s plea, an expansion of the ACA, which was often called “obamacare”, seems unlikely under the leadership of President Donald Trump.
