“Obamacare was sold on a lie. It massively increased the cost of health care in America.”

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, was enacted nearly 15 years ago and has survived numerous attempts by Republicans to repeal or substantially dismantle it. Once viewed unfavorably by most Americans, Obamacare now wins favor with 59 percent of Americans, according to a February poll by KFF, a nonprofit health-policy organization.
