Today marks the 6th anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). These reforms have helped 20 million people gain affordable and quality health care. Driving this improvement are common-sense fixes to what was a broken system. For instance, the ACA allows young people to stay on their parents’ plan until they are 26. Another critical improvement is that people who have what the insurance industry calls a “pre-existing condition” no longer have to worry that they will be left without insurance and without recourse.
