Biden, Obama talk up Affordable Care Act in advert

US Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and former US President Barack Obama stepped up their attacks on US President Donald Trump and defended their time in the White House in a new video showing their first in-person meeting since the coronavirus outbreak began.

In one segment in the 15-minute video posted online Thursday, Biden discussed the final months before his son Beau died of brain cancer and tied it to the 2010 health care law Obama signed.Biden said he recalled thinking "to myself, what would happen if his insurance company was able to come in — which they could have done before we passed Obamacare — and said, 'You have outrun your insurance'."

Obama says, "I couldn't be prouder of what we got done."The meeting in the video — and the Biden campaign promoting it to voters — illustrates the larger role Obama is expected to play for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in the months before the November US election.
