奥巴马2015年1月3日演讲译文 Hello everyone, this is Joe Biden. I want to wish you all a Happy New Year. I know this is the time of year when we make resolutions to take care of our health, whether its joining a gym or eating healthier. But theres one thing you can do right now that will also make a big difference in your health: that is getting quality, affordable health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Because of that law, access to quality health care is improving. Last year, almost 7 million people signed up for health care coverage under the new law and paid their premiums. And in many cases the cost of health care is less than the cost of your cell phone or your cable bill. In addition, millions more are getting the care that they need through Medicaid that they werent getting before. 大家好，我是拜登。我祝各位新年快乐。 我知道每年的这个时候都是我们下决心关注我们的健康的时候，无论你是下决心投入健身行列还是吃得更加健康。但是现在你们马上就可以做的一件事也会给你的健康带来巨大改变：那就是根据可承受的医保法案获得高品质可承受的医保。 因为有了这个法案，获得高品质医保更加容易了。去年，近7百万人根据新法律签了医保合同并且缴纳了保费。在很多情况下医保成本比你的手机费或网费还低。此外，还有几百万人通过医助得到医保，这是他们以前可望不可及的。 And because of the new law, people who already had health insurance are also benefitting from additional protections. For example, their insurance companies cant deny them coverage because of pre-existing conditions, like asthma or diabetes. And they’re able to get -- for free -- preventive services like mammograms or blood pressure screenings that their doctors ordered for them, saving them a lot of money. Everyone is beginning to realize what millions of you already know -- the Affordable Care Act is working. And were just getting started. Because there are millions more of you who can get quality, affordable health care if you sign up before February 15th of this year. That’s now through February 15th. Now if you dont have insurance, you can go to HealthCare.gov, where youll find a menu of a bunch of different plans and what each plan covers and how much each plan costs. All you have to do is just pick one. The best one that fits your familys health care
