The health policy I selected is the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This policy was proposed in 2010 and enacted in 2014 to address the issue of uninsured Americans and to provide access to quality, affordable healthcare.
The ACA seeks to reduce costs by expanding coverage options through private insurance or Medicaid, establishing a marketplace for purchasing competitively priced insurance plans, eliminating pre-existing condition exclusions, providing subsidies for low-income households making coverage more affordable, as well as allowing young adults up to age 26 stay on their parents’ insurance plan.
Ultimately this policy helps ensure that all Americans have access basic medical services regardless financial standing – resulting greater public health outcomes across board eventually.
