7 years ago today, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, setting off the worst financial crisis in decades. Here's how far we've come:

When I took office, 800,000 Americans lost their jobs each month. Our businesses have now added 13.1 million jobs over 66 straight months.

We've cut the unemployment rate in half - from a high of 10% down to 5.1%. And we're not done. http://t.co/uRfaSoiGuA

In 2009, our auto industry was flatlining. Now our workers are on pace to sell more American cars and trucks than any year since 2001.

When I took office, 15.4% of our population was uninsured. Today, we’ve cut that by more than a third. http://t.co/3OOqcz8Oxp

When I took office, the budget deficit had reached 9.2% of our GDP. We've cut that down to 2.8%. http://t.co/3viaw4b0bB

We've fought back because of you. We shouldn't slip back because of Congress. I urge them to send me a budget that invests in our future.

A Historic Drop In The Uninsured Rate. Thanks, ObamaCare

Dan Diamond: Thanks, Obamacare: America’s Uninsured Rate Is Below 10% For First Time Ever

For the first time in more than 50 years of surveys, the CDC on Wednesday reported that more than 90% of Americans — 90.8% of us, to be specific — have health insurance. Until now, no major survey had ever found that the uninsured rate in America has hit single digits. The data comes from the National Health Interview Survey, which the CDC and the Census Bureau have been conducting for more than 50 years.

Nearly 16 million fewer Americans were uninsured in early 2015 compared to 2013. And based on past precedent, there’s every expectation that the uninsured rate will continue to go down as enrollment in the ACA exchanges and Medicaid keeps going up. Having more insured customers is good for the health care industry, too. Hospitals are reporting huge jobs gains, and the health care sector is reporting its best 12-month stretch of new jobs in almost 25 years.

I'm 36. I grew up poor...and I used health insurance for the 1st time in my life today. I can't even tell you what a big deal it is to me.
