ACA implementation
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also called Obamacare, was implemented to make healthcare more accessible and affordable. It expanded Medicaid, created health insurance marketplaces, and introduced regulations to prevent insurance companies from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions. The ACA also requires most Americans to have health insurance or face a penalty, and it provides subsidies to help lower-income individuals afford coverage. Overall, it aims to improve healthcare quality, reduce costs, and increase insurance coverage across the U.S.
