Obamacare saved 50,000 lives through hospital safety provisions. Republicans still hate it.


It's time to talk more about the ways that Obamacare is improving our healthcare system instead of letting Republicans lie about it as much as they do.

For example, safety provisions in the Affordable Care Act have helped to reduce hospital errors by 17%, saving 50,000 lives. And hospital readmissions are down significantly as well, saving another 15,000 lives.

Obamacare isn't perfect, but it's saving lives in a number of different ways.
