The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is a landmark piece of legislation that has had far-reaching effects on our nation's healthcare system. It was signed into law in 2010 by President Barack Obama, who called it "the most significant domestic achievement of my presidency." The ACA requires all Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty. It also expands Medicaid eligibility and provides subsidies for those who qualify. Additionally, it creates exchanges where individuals can shop for private health plans and allows young adults to stay on their parents' insurance plans until age 26.
