Publisher's Synopsis
In 2010, President Barack Obama and Congress created Obamacare. Why? They wanted to make sure all Americans were able to get health insurance. More importantly, they wanted to lower the cost of health care. That would reduce the growing cost of Medicare and Medicaid.
Obamacare is an alternative term for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. The aim of this plan was to make health care more affordable for everyone by lowering costs for those who can't afford them. This is an easy-to-read book covering the basics from what it is, the 10 essential health benefits, where do people apply, what happens if you don't participate, and much more.
