Many of these claims are detached from the facts, and blind to what health care was like before the ACA was passed. Overall, independent experts calculate that Marketplace premiums are currently 12% to 20% lower than the Congressional Budget Office predicted when the ACA was passed. We know that expanding Medicaid not only helps low-income people gain access to care, but helps reduce Marketplace premiums for middle-income families. But the debate around the ACA should be about how -- not whether -- to make health care better. It's up to all of us to work together to further improve health care in America.
