federal healthcare laws

Federal healthcare laws are regulations enacted by the U.S. government to ensure access, quality, and affordability of healthcare for all Americans. They include statutes like the Affordable Care Act, which expanded insurance coverage and mandated protections for pre-existing conditions, and laws that set safety standards for hospitals and medical professionals. These laws aim to balance public health needs, control costs, and prevent discrimination, creating a framework for the healthcare system that affects insurance coverage, patient rights, and medical practices nationwide.
