Health Care One Year Later: Keep Moving Forward

Health Care One Year Later: Keep Moving Forward

One year ago, President Obama signed the much needed Affordable Care Act (ACA), health care bill into law—a feat long talked about and attempted by others. So where do we go from here? Republicans threaten to repeal the bill, but in place of what? We need to build upon what we have to deliver affordable health care  to families and the uninsured who need it most. The idea of repealing this plan will only delay relief to those persons. We cannot stop the train to address the squabbles of a select few. Yes, the law requires further understanding and education but the worst action we can take is a step backward. Keep moving forward.
