Statement on a Department of the Treasury Report on Small Business Health Insurance Coverage Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Every time someone starts a new small business, it's an act of hope and confidence in our economy. Thanks to my and Vice President Harris's work to protect and build on the Affordable Care Act, more Americans have the freedom to start small businesses and chase their dreams, without having to worry about how they receive health insurance for their family. As a result, more Americans—and more small-business owners—have signed up for health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act marketplace than ever before. That's 618,590 small-business owners in Florida, 450,010 in California, 423,790 in Texas, and 168,070 in Georgia who have benefited from this quality, affordable health coverage. Congressional Republicans have a different vision and have voted more than 50 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Their agenda would strip millions of small-business owners of their health coverage, gut protections for preexisting conditions, and threaten the small-business boom seen under my administration. Vice President Harris and I won't let it happen on our watch.
