President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama collaborated on a video to endorse the Affordable Care Act.

The video was launched on Friday, which marks the last day of open enrollment. This comes at a time when former President Donald Trump, during his own White House campaign, has posed fresh challenges to the law.

During a recent undisclosed visit to the White House, Obama and Biden were filmed together in a short video that lasted about 30 seconds. At the start of the video, Biden can be seen reading a text message inquiring if Obamacare is “still a thing.”

In response, Obama says, “Yes! Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, Bidencare — whatever you call it — yes it is still a thing. The other side’s been trying to repeal it every year since its existence, but we’ll keep fighting to protect it.”
