Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, Darlene W. from Cary, North Carolina was able to get the health insurance coverage she needs, at a reasonable price.

Back in 2012, Darlene had to discontinue her health insurance because, at almost $500 a month, she could no longer afford it. But under the Affordable Care Act, Darlene has been able to afford her health care for the past two years without crippling herself financially.

"Thank you again for your hard work and dedication to [this] country," she wrote the President this past December. "We appreciate and love you."
