Expansion of Coverage Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act (ACA), has significantly expanded healthcare coverage, providing insurance to millions who were previously uninsured.
Protection for Pre-existing Conditions The ACA prohibits insurers from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions, ensuring broader access to necessary healthcare services.
Medicaid Expansion The ACA's Medicaid expansion has enabled low-income individuals to receive medical care, though not all states have adopted this provision.
Insurance Marketplace Healthcare.gov and state marketplaces have simplified the process of finding and comparing insurance plans.
Cost Concerns While the ACA has increased coverage, critics argue that it has also led to higher premiums for some individuals and families.
