i hope we're hoping that we can improve it and we can make it better. i think despite the fact that we had a rough start in many places, the aca is working and has greatly approved access to affordable high quality health insurance coverage. in the last five years, we've made progress in helping millions of americans throughout the country gain access to quality health care. here are some notable statistics. since passage of the law five years ago, 17.6 million previously uninsured individuals have gained health coverage through the aca's various provisions. nearly 10 million consumers have enrolled in state and federally facilitated exchanges. about 2.7 million of those individuals use state exchanges to select private plans. according to newly released data, the uninsured rate fell from 13.3% to 10.4% from 2013 to 2014, representing the largest single year reduction in the uninsured rate since 1987. in 2014, hospital uncompensated care costs were $7.4 billion lower than 2013 levels as a result of exchange coverage and medicaid expansion. the aca also

tiffeagle safety improvement act includes several provisions that would enhance the safety and improve the efficacy of recalls, none of which are included in this draft legislation. they would more than double nhtsa sunday for vehicle safety programs. this bill provides no additional funding for the agency. it would increase the quantity and quality of information shared on automakers with nhtsa, the public and congress while there is a nod to those priorities in this draft legislation there is little meaningful change from the status quo. the bill would require manufacturers to fix all recall vehicles free of charge rather than just a those that were purchased within the past 10 years. this discussion draft would not. they would be no authority to expedite recalls related to dangerous defects would eliminate the region recall program ensuring that all cars subject to a recall or repaired regardless of their location. made of those changes are part of this discussion draft but beyond those missteps, the republican draft legislation takes egregious steps in the wrong direction. to take
