Affordable Care Act: Increasing Certainty for American Businesses, Economic Growth Posted by Secretary Tim Geithner on January 19, 2011 at 6:00 AM EST

This week the House will vote on a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. Repeal of the Affordable Care Act would deny 32 million uninsured Americans access to health insurance. Repeal would mean children with pre-existing conditions could once again be denied coverage, young adults would be thrown off their parents’ policies, and the chronically ill who have already enrolled in pre-existing condition insurance plans would have their coverage cancelled. This would be a major setback for the tens of millions of people affected and would harm economic growth as a result.
