    Democrats passed Affordable Care Act/Obamacare which changed the dependent coverage to 26.

    Most democratic controlled states also opened state healthcare exchanges so you can get healthcare if your employer doesn’t offer it.

    Democrats also expanded Medicaid and made it available in all states, the Republican ones spurned the chance to offer healthcare to their poor.ost democratic controlled states offer free healthcare to those in economic need, including if you’re laid off.

    While we still need single payer healthcare for everyone, not just Medicare, the ACA made a big difference for many.
