The Affordable Care Act (ACA) sometimes referred as "ObamaCare" is the law passed in 2010 that provides individuals and families greater access to affordable health insurance options. The ACA has 3 main goals which are to make affordable health insurance available to more people, expand the medicaid program to cover all adults who's income is lower than the 138% of the FPL poverty level, and to support medical care delivery methods to lower health care cost.
