The Affordable Care Act (ACA), often known as Obamacare, is a comprehensive health reform law that was signed into law in 2010. It has significant effects on health insurance in the United States.
The ACA was created to increase the number of Americans with health insurance, reduce the cost of health care, and improve the quality of health care. It has made health insurance more affordable for many people by providing subsidies to help pay for premiums and expanding Medicaid eligibility. It has also made it easier for people with pre-existing conditions to get health insurance.
