"The Affordable Care Act turns 8 years old today.

Because of this law, more than 20 million people have gained health insurance (including one million Illinoisans)."

"Insurance companies can no longer deny you coverage because of a pre-existing condition … and they can't impose lifetime/annual caps on your benefits."

"Health plans must cover basic, important health care needs -- from doctor and hospital visits, to prescription drugs, to mental health and substance abuse treatment."

"Despite GOP attempts to rip health care away from 20 million Americans (and their ongoing sabotage efforts which are driving up premiums), this law turns 8 today."

"Let's come together and work on bipartisan ideas to improve upon the law and make the next 8 years even better than the last."
