Obamacare achievements.
This initiative allowed, for the first time, more than 40 million individuals to have health insurance in the United States. This population, until then, had no way to support their health expenses because they did not qualify for this benefit. They did not meet the requirements of the insurance companies. Obamacare came along to change that.
The Affordable Health Care Act also expanded the Medicaid program, covers more low-income adults, and subsidizes private health care through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
