                      OBAMACARE'S 14TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, this Saturday the Affordable Care 
Act is turning 14 years old.
  Despite relentless challenges and efforts by MAGA Republicans to 
repeal it over 50 times in the last 14 years, the Affordable Care Act 
remains in effect and continues to provide millions of individuals and 
families with access to affordable healthcare.
  A record of more than 21 million Americans are enrolled in quality 
healthcare under the Affordable Care Act in 2023, including more than 
3.5 million Texans.
  Today, more Americans have health insurance than under any other 
President in history, for which I thank President Obama.
  Democrats have made sure that more Americans than ever before are 
getting covered under the Affordable Care Act. We will continue to put 
people over politics, to lower healthcare costs, and to ensure that 
every American can get the care that they need.
  Happy birthday to ACA ObamaCare.
