I've been hearing a lot of talk about the new health care reform. What is it and what does it mean?

Health care reform is a term used to describe efforts by Congress, the Obama administration, and other stakeholders to improve the US healthcare system. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law in 2010 and went into effect in 2014. It aims to expand access to affordable health insurance coverage, reduce the uninsured rate, increase the quality of care, and control costs.
