Now, let’s put this in perspective. The Affordable Care Act has been in law for three and a half years. It passed both houses of Congress. The Supreme Court ruled it constitutional. It was an issue in last year’s elections. The guy who was running against me said he was going to repeal it. We won. So the voters were pretty clear on this.

And then, Republicans in Congress, they‘ve tried to repeal or sabotage this — more than 40 times they‘ve had these repeal votes. Every time they fail. This law that is in place is already providing people benefits. It‘s not holding back economic growth; it‘s helping millions of Americans, including some of you or your family members that you may not be aware of.

You can keep your kid on your own health insurance plan — somebody is raising their hand right here — until they‘re 26, because of the Affordable Care Act — (applause) — which is one of the main reasons why the number of uninsured among young people has gone down over the last three years.
