2024 State of the Union address: on Health Care


Joe Biden: Don't let Republicans repeal the Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act, ObamaCare, it's still a very big deal. Over 100 million of you can no longer be denied health insurance because of pre-existing condition, but my predecessor, and many in this chamber, want to take that protection drug away by repealing the Affordable Care Act. I'm not going to let that happen. We stopped you 50 times before and we will stop you again.

In fact, I'm not only protecting it, I'm expanding it. The enacted tax credits save $800 per person per year, reduced health care cost for millions of working families. That tax credit expire next year. I want to make that savings permanent.

To state the obvious, women are more than half our population, but research on women's health has always been underfunded. That's why we're launching the first-ever White House Initiative on Women's Health Research. Pass my plan for $12 billion to transform women's health research and benefit millions of lives all across America.
