Universal health care has been a fiery topic for decades in the United States. In 2010,
President Barack Obama worked with a Congress in which Democrats held the
majority to pass the largest health care reform in decades. It is called the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), but commonly referred to as
“Obamacare.” In this Lesson Activity, you will analyze and form an argument about the
PPACA.
