The CEA presentation is notable in reflecting the core components of ACA advocates’ case for the law. It is fourteen slides long, and I find that its points break down into five main themes (in my own words):

1. The ACA represents a historic expansion of health insurance coverage.
2. The ACA is achieving policy goals such as reducing patient harm and hospital readmissions.
3. The ACA is helping to slow the growth of health care costs.
4. The ACA has been good for job creation.
5. The ACA is improving the federal fiscal outlook.
