Obama calls to expand ObamaCare ‘with everything going on right now’

Former President Barack Obama said that his signing legislation, the law of care at reasonable prices, must be expanded in the coming years, on the pretext that ACA should be considered a “first step” to improve health care.

“We have not finished,” Obama said in a video clip of the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago next year. “I have always said that ACA is like a starting house, it was a big step forward, but it is still just a first step. Now it is up to all of us to continue to build and improve the ACA.”

The former president’s video was published on X, where Obama suspended the post by saying that people should “continue fighting for progress.”

“I know it could look like a different era at times. But 15 years ago, the Welfare Law fell at reasonable prices. About 50 million people have received health care through ACA,” Obama said. “With everything that is happening at the present time, it is easy to feel that ordinary people cannot make a change – but the law of careful care is a reminder that change is possible when we continue to fight for progress.”

Despite Obama’s call, it seems that an ACA expansion, which was often called “obamacare”, was unlikely under the leadership of President Donald Trump.

Trump, who replaced Obama at the White House after his victory in the 2016 elections, paid to cancel the legislation in 2017, an effort in the end of the Senate.

Trump once again targeted ACA through the law of the “tax discounts and jobs” law for the year 2017, which was issued in the law and contained the ruling of the controversial individual delegation in ACA.

However, Obama indicated optimism that the Americans can work together to build the legislation he started in 2010.

“If it could happen 15 years ago, this may happen again,” Obama said. “We learned that some things are greater than politics.”
