President, American Medical Association

Signed into law nine years ago, the ACA ushered in gains that most of us now consider essential — creating options for affordable, high-quality individual coverage for millions while also guaranteeing coverage for pre-existing conditions and other important protections for the most vulnerable. The task now is to build on what has been shown to work and continue to make improvements where needed.
