ObamaCare (Affordable Care Act)

In March 23, 2010, President Barak Obama signed a legislative act called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). It is also called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for short or commonly known as the ObamaCare health plan. On June 28th, 2012 the law was upheld by the Supreme Court allowing the people of America to participate in this new health care program.

ObamaCare was created to provide affordable and quality insurance to more Americans and to reduce overall spendings in U.S. health care. ObamaCare makes both private and public health insurance more available and affordable through regulations, consumer protections as well as other reforms to increase health insurance for the general public in the U.S.
