As we celebrate the anniversary of Democrats’ groundbreaking advances in expanding health care access, Congresswoman Shontel Brown wanted to share a special message on why the fight for health care access is still her top priority. [Shontel Brown's Message on the 13th Anniversary of the Affordable Care Act]( More than 16 million Americans now have access to health care thanks to the ACA, but the work expanding affordable health care didn’t stop with its passage. In the last year, Democrats have built on the ACA’s promise of lower health care costs by capping the price of insulin, making most vaccines free, and empowering Medicare to lower prescription drug costs. But as the last decade has shown, our progress is constantly under attack. The GOP has adamantly fought the ACA for the last decade, voting over 50 times to repeal it with no replacement in sight. {NAME}, we have no doubt that if Republicans take control of the Senate, and the Presidency, too, they'll repeal the ACA. And if they succeed, more than 40 million Americans would lose their health insurance, another 69 million could lose Medicaid benefits, and 100 million would lose protections for pre-existing conditions. [That’s why we need your help, {NAME}. Millions of Americans rely on the health care coverage provided by the ACA. Without it, they’ll lose a critical safety net that every American deserves. So, {NAME}, will you contribute $1 or whatever you can afford to help further the fight to keep America healthy?]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [$1 »]( [$3 »]( [$5 »]( [$10 »]( [$15 »]( [$25 »]( [$50 »]( [OTHER »]( Onward, Shontel Brown As a Cuyahoga County Council member and Chairwoman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, Shontel Brown has spent the last decade serving the people of Ohio and building coalitions.
