WASHINGTON, DC (PR) - One week out from the five-year anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act, Human Health Service is announcing that about 16.4 million uninsured people have gained health coverage since the law’s passage – the largest change in the uninsured in four decades.
Statement from HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell:
“Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act almost five years ago, about 16.4 million uninsured people have gained health coverage - the largest reduction in the uninsured in four decades," said Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. "Because of the Affordable Care Act young adults are able to stay on their parents' plans until age 26, states can expand their Medicaid programs, and tax credits are available to millions of Americans in all 50 states, making health care coverage more affordable and accessible. When it comes to the key metrics of affordability, access, and quality, the evidence shows that the Affordable Care Act is working, and families, businesses and taxpayers are better off as a result.”
-> It was estimated over 50 million people without health insurance 5 years ago from 300 million population living in the country.
Cancelation
This letter arrived to my house 3/27/2015. The check I have sent was cashed on 2/2/2015. So, after all the time spent applying and paying for coverage under the Affordable Care Act I realize today that I and my family are as uninsured as yesterday.
