The Affordable Care Act and Medicaid expansion continue to work, no matter how much sabotage the unindicted co-conspirator in the Oval Office and his minions have tried to inflict. The uninsured rate among people not eligible for Medicare is the lowest it’s been in over four decades.
According to the CDC survey, 20.3 million fewer people are going without insurance than in 2010, which is still a big fucking deal. Remarkably, the gains have remained stable, as health economist Ellen Meara points out. "During a time with a lot of uncertainty—there's been a lot of political turmoil over what will or won't happen with Obamacare—these gains we've made in reducing the number of uninsured have held pretty steady."
That’s a status quo the American people don’t want to see reversed—no one besides the most foaming-at-the-mouth Trump supporters (you know, the whole Republican congress) wants to go back to the bad old days. That’s what’s going to be driving this election.
