The 14th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act was this past Saturday.
Some background
President Joe Biden and other Democrats celebrated the 14th anniversary of President Barack Obama signing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law on Saturday with a flurry of online posts and images. “14 years later, the Affordable Care Act is still a very big deal,” Biden posted on X, a coy reference to his profane, hot mic version of the same expression at the bill’s signing. Although Biden is running behind Donald Trump in many polls, Biden and the Democrats believe that ACA will be a political asset this fall and could turn the election in their favor. KFF polling shows the law is viewed favorably overall, although approximately two-thirds (67%) of Republicans view it unfavorably and 39% say they want it repealed. Trump has focused on immigration and Biden’s age at his rallies, but in a Truth Social post late last year he said that “the cost of Obamacare is out of control” and that he was seriously looking at alternatives.
Will the Affordable Care Act Help Biden and the Democrats in the November 2024 Election?
