Health Care Stories - Affordable Care Act 2020

Share Your ACA Health Care Story

Health Access California wants to hear from you!

Our health care is once again under attack. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the case to strike down the Affordable Care Act - a decision is expected to take months but there is a possibility of millions of people losing employer based coverage during this pandemic. Those with preexisting conditions, and those who have Med-Cal coverage because of the expansion could all lose access to coverage. It's more important than ever that we take action to protect our care.

Has the ACA saved you or someone you love? How has the Affordable Care Act changed your life? Do you have a preexisting condition that you were finally able to get coverage for?

If so, please share your story with us. Stories like yours help us make the case that the ACA should be saved and expanded. Your story could help protect your health care for millions across the country.
