Gallup Poll Finds Healthcare Affordable For Record Number Of Americans, Due To ACA.

reports that according to a new Gallup poll, “15.5% of Americans say they couldn’t afford the health care or medicine they needed over the past year,” which is the lowest percentage since Gallup began tracking these data in 2008. The main reason for this change, Gallup said, is the Affordable Care Act. Gallup researchers wrote, “The expansion of health insurance coverage to millions more Americans under the Affordable Care Act is likely a major factor in the decline of health care insecurity, demonstrating a concrete benefit of the law,” and they warned that repealing the ACA could reverse the gains. http://fortune.com/2016/06/20/aca-healthcare-affordable-recession/
