Federal Health Insurance Act

The Federal Health Insurance Act is legislation that established a framework for health insurance coverage in the United States. It set rules to ensure more Americans have access to affordable healthcare, often by expanding Medicaid and creating federal standards for private insurance plans. The Act aims to improve health outcomes, reduce financial barriers, and promote equitable health services across different populations. It often works in conjunction with other healthcare laws to shape national health policy, emphasizing coverage, affordability, and quality care while balancing government support and market regulation.
