The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is bringing about numerous reforms to U.S. health care. We’ve assembled publications, guides and fact sheets from reliable sources to help you improve your understanding of the Act.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is commonly called the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA is also referred to as “Obamacare” since it was signed into law by President Obama.
Among the reforms included in the Affordable Care Act are additional patient protections and expanded access to health insurance. The Act also contains provisions for health coverage for individuals, families, and businesses, and has the potential to affect nearly all Americans.
