This act is meant to provide affordable, good quality health care to all Americans and to cut health care spending. The ACA has been on ongoing struggle to reform the health care system. Almost 50 million Americans still lack health coverage despite the fact that ObamaCare continues to help provide an increasing amount of Americans with access to affordable, quality health insurance .

Since the early days of our nation, our founding fathers thrived for change. At the peak of his election campaign, Barack Obama promised the change the country had been longing for. He promised a health care reform and new benefits. Many presidents elected after the signing of Roosevelt’s New Deal had tried to achieve health care reform but ultimately none succeeded. Obama promised change; his change came under the name of the Affordable Care Act, a bill that was filled with empty promises. The Affordable Care Act, nicknamed “Obamacare” was supposed to benefit all Americans but instead of helping our nation's citizens, it burdened them. It burdened them with higher taxes, less hours of work, and higher costs

The Affordable Care Act is composed of two pieces of legislation which are referred to as the the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. The Affordable Care act was passed by Congress and then signed into law by President Obama on March 23rd, 2010.

What is the Affordable Care Act? The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), commonly called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or Obama care, is a United States federal statute signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010. What this did was to give affordable insurance to over 30 million previously uninsured people in the United States. People who couldn’t afford insurance now have Health Insurance Marketplaces that compare Health Plans that count as minimum essential coverage and include all new benefits, rights and protections. There are subsidies that can save you money on your premium and out-of-pocket expenses. These subsidies include Premium Tax Credits, Cost Sharing Reduction Subsidies, Medicaid Expansion and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program), Subsidy Calculator, and HSAs (Health Savings Accounts) and Medical Deductions. The health care act also has related sections of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act and the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act. It also includes amendments to other laws like the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act and the Health and Public Services Act. This act not only helps with people getting affordable insurance or for the poor it could mean free medical care, as stated above it has amendments to other areas. I see this to be a positive point, though not all people believe that Obama care is a good way to get health care.

The Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is a federal statute that was signed into law on March 23, 2010 by the Obama Administration. PPACA is more commonly referred to as the “ACA” or “Obamacare”. “A primary goal of the ACA was to increase access to health care services, largely through major expansions of state Medicaid programs in 2014 and beyond” (Wilk, 2014). The quest for health care reform began in the early 1900s and has become increasingly more debated throughout the century. The American Medical Association (AMA) began the journey and has been joined throughout the many decades by the American Association for Labor Legislation (AALL), President Roosevelt, President Truman, President Johnson, President Nixon, President Clinton, and President Obama, to name a few. The ACA demonstrates the need for the balance of power between state and federal government, as well as, how America has been handling the balance of power. This law has been in the making since 1989, conceptually beginning as the Individual Health Insurance Mandate through the Heritage Foundation. The individual health insurance mandate had been introduced by Republicans twice in 1993, in hopes of providing “a bill to provide comprehensive reform of the health care system of the United States” (Sen Chafee, 1993). The bill has been revised multiple times since 1993, budding into what is commonly called Obamacare.
