Health care reform in the United States

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Health care reform in the United States refers to efforts to improve the affordability and accessibility of health care in the country. One of the most significant examples of health care reform in the US is the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, which was passed in 2010. The ACA aimed to make health insurance more affordable and accessible by creating online marketplaces for individuals to purchase insurance, expanding Medicaid, and requiring employers to provide insurance to employees.
