Thomas Perez on Health Care

 

 


ObamaCare is an important part of anti-poverty efforts

Martin Luther King once said that "of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane." And so the Affordable Care Act is also an important part of our anti-poverty efforts. Notwithstanding the frustration many Americans have experienced with healthcare.gov, the fact remains that the ACA is more than a website--it is affordable, quality health insurance for everyone. It is already making a difference in so many lives--young people who can stay on their parents' plan until they're 26, seniors who have access to more affordable prescription drugs, and more. The glitches will be worked out--tech experts are working on it as we speak--and millions of Americans will be able to reap the benefits of this landmark law.
