Today, on Transgender Day of Visibility, I’m thinking about the trans leaders, activists, and trailblazers, who epitomize not only resilience, but joy.

HHS will do everything in our power to protect transgender people’s right to health care, including gender-affirming care.

[HHS @HHSGov]

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility from our very own @HHS_ASH!

Admiral Rachel Levine serves as this country’s first openly transgender federal official confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and she is also the first transgender 4-star general in any uniformed service.

Happy #ACA Anniversary! We appreciate the great work of all the assisters, navigators, and community organizers to help Americans get #healthinsurance.

[HHS @HHSGov]

The Biden-Harris Administration believes health care is a right, not a privilege. @POTUS has made expanding access to health insurance & lowering health care costs for America’s families a top priority! Watch how it��s making a difference in the lives of real American families!

✅ 16.4M people signed up for coverage on ACA Marketplaces
✅ 40M people are currently enrolled in Marketplace or Medicaid expansion coverage

As we celebrate the 13th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act today, we have even more evidence that this law has lived up to its name.

[HHS @HHSGov]

13 years later – this is Obamacare. On the 13th Anniversary we say ‘thank you’ @BarackObama. Today, Obamacare can take credit for over 40M having health care access & 16.4M through the Marketplaces. We’re not done, we’re going to keep going.
