Insurance companies are no longer allowed to discriminate against women, people with cancer, diabetes or other preexisting conditions.

To date, House Republicans have voted more than 50 times to repeal, defund or otherwise undermine the law.

More than 8 million Americans have signed up for health insurance plans through the Federal and State exchanges.

Ma'am, you are not going to gain anything from this side of the dais by telling there isn't widespread fraud that is the reason that there is a Congressional hearing that you have been asked to be at.
