The healthcare system in the U.S. has long been a source of reform efforts, due to high costs of care and the fact that many Americans have gone without insurance. In 2010, the Affordable Care Act (also called the ACA, or "Obamacare") was passed to address some of the main issues. The major goal of the ACA was to improve access and affordability of health insurance for many Americans.
The ACA is still in effect today, and there's a good chance that there's a health plan option out there for you, even if you have little money or have lost your job. Learn about the many options out there and which is best for you.
