Obamacare, officially known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is a significant healthcare reform law enacted in the United States in 2010. The law aims to expand access to quality and affordable health insurance for millions of Americans. Key provisions of Obamacare include the creation of health insurance marketplaces, Medicaid expansion, prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions, and allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ plans until the age of 26. While the law has expanded coverage for many, it has also faced both praise and criticism, sparking ongoing debates about healthcare policy, costs, and the role of government in the healthcare system.
