2522). This means that president Obama was the only president who succeeded and was able to pass this care Act.
Furthermore, by passing the Affordable Care Act, President Obama made a major accomplishment because this act is not only helping the low incomes families, it is also helping the poor people who have no money to pay for a visit to the doctor. This act gives the middle class families the benefits and the security they deserve, "The Affordable Care Act forces insurance companies to play by the rules, prohibiting them from discriminating against anyone with a pre-existing condition, dropping your coverage if you get sick, billing you into bankruptcy because of an illness or injury, and limiting your annual or lifetime benefits" (The White House, 2012). Now, people do not have to worry about losing their insurance coverage due to pre existing conditions like Christina Turner who was rapped in the year of 2009 and was denied coverage by her insurance later on. There were many cases out there of people in desperate need of care but sadly denied coverage either in the middle of the treatment or due to pre existing illnesses. Connors and Gostin stated that that The Affordable Care Act was the first act of its kind to have such a great impact on saving people's lives. It saved a Clint who's name was Murphy. He was a real estate agent and he used to have testicular cancer but survived (Nather, 2011). It was a great thing that he survived the cancer but the sad story is that he can no longer be insured due to his pre existing cancer illness. A couple of month later, Murphy stated that he was having trouble breathing and he tried to go to a doctor. The doctor asked of him to have an angiogram, it is used to check the blood flow in the artery (Nather, 2011). As was said earlier, Murphy does not have health insurance anymore; he was not able to afford so he said no to the doctor and walked out of his office.
