After three days of deliberation, those delegates made the unanimous decision to ratify the U.S. Constitution and make Delaware the First State of what would eventually become our union.\r\nThroughout Delaware\u2019s unique history, our caring, welcoming community has endured, and each Delaware Day, I am excited to celebrate the dauntless spirit of the \u201cDelaware Way.\"\r\nThe \u201cDelaware Way\u201d means working together to continuously improve our state and our country. It also means caring for our neighbors as we care for our family. The Affordable Care Act allows us to care for our family, friends and neighbors by guaranteeing health care for every Delawarean and every American. Anyone who doesn\u2019t get health insurance through their employer, Medicaid, Medicare or the Children\u2019s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is eligible for health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Eight out of 10 people qualify for financial assistance and many plans cost less than $100 a month.\r\nUnfortunately, Open Enrollment for the Affordable Care Act health insurance marketplaces ends on December 15th \u2013 a little more than a week away. So, on this Delaware Day, I hope we will all be inspired by the \u201cDelaware Way\u201d and reach out to our friends, neighbors and co-workers to make sure that every one of them has health care in 2018.\r\nAlong with my partner in the Senate, Chris Coons, and Delaware\u2019s Congresswoman, Lisa Blunt Rochester, we are working to spread the message that every Delawarean and every American has access to affordable health care for the new year. I hope you\u2019ll join us and spread the word that the Affordable Care Act health insurance marketplace is open at healthcare.gov or choosehealthDE.com until December 15th only.\r\nI wish you all a happy, healthy Delaware Day!
