I've been hearing a lot about the new health care reform legislation. What is it all about?

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law in 2010 and has had a significant impact on the US healthcare system. It provides access to affordable health insurance for millions of Americans, including those who are uninsured or underinsured. It also expands Medicaid eligibility to include more low-income adults and children, and offers subsidies for middle class families to help them afford private coverage. Additionally, it requires employers with more than 50 workers to provide affordable health insurance options for their employees.
