- President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama have collaborated on a video to promote and defend the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, amid threats of repeal from former President Donald Trump.
- The video was released during the Obamacare open enrollment period, which runs from November 1 to January 15, and has seen nearly 7.3 million sign-ups in the first five weeks.
