It was introduced in the House of Representatives
On March 23, 2010 the House of Representatives introduced the affordable care act, a comprehensive health reform law that offers numerous protections and programs to enhance quality and reduce cost-of-healthcare coverage.
The law offers individuals and families who qualify premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions, expands Medicaid coverage, and establishes the Health Insurance Marketplace.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has three primary goals: to reform private insurance markets, expand Medicaid eligibility to working poor individuals, and transform how medical decisions are made.
