- Caring for your health won't cost you your wealth - Last Year 66 million people were not hesitant to visit the doctor because of cost of care
- Women are people, not "moral hazards" for health insurance companies - Insurance companies are no longer allowed to use gender when they determine rates for plans
- Obamacare helps you if you're red or blue (but especially if you're red?) - Before the health reform law was passed, 18.5 percent of people living in Republican counties were uninsured
- Medicaid deserves a medal - A critical part of the successful enrollment of the uninsured in many states is the expansion of Medicaid
- Implementation of the ACA advances civil rights - Prior to the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, minorities made up a disproportionate number of the uninsured
