In 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law. This law, often called “Obamacare,” is the strongest, most robust improvement made in our nation’s healthcare system since Medicare was passed in 1965. More than 40 million Americans will finally have the opportunity to purchase affordable health insurance coverage.

Congressman Cárdenas is working with the Obama Administration to provide resources to hospitals, small business owners and families in the San Fernando Valley, to make sure everyone understands the opportunities in the new law, as well as the potential costs.

Congressman Cárdenas has held dozens of forums throughout the 29th Congressional District to help educate the community on the benefits of the Affordable Care Act and how to sign up.
