"We're going to have insurance for everybody. There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don't get it. That's not going to happen with us."
“With almost 9 million people signed up for 2017 coverage just in HealthCare.gov states, it’s clear that marketplace coverage is a product Americans want and need. Strong demand is especially striking in light of the unique headwinds created by discouraging rhetoric from ACA opponents. More than 40,000 people have contacted our call center expressing concerns about whether they should sign up for coverage, with a sharp uptick in these questions last weekend. My answer is a resounding yes: in fact, I’ll be signing up for marketplace coverage myself by the end of the month. If you still need coverage for 2017, visit HealthCare.gov or your state marketplace before January 31, and join me and millions of other Americans in purchasing affordable, quality coverage."
—Former HHS Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell
