The Affordable Care Actâs main focus is on providing more Americans with access to affordable health insurance, improving the quality of health care and health insurance, regulating the health insurance industry, and reducing health care spending in the US.
For the U.S. health care legislation signed into law in 2010, see Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. For the bill proposed in 2017, see American Health Care Act. The Affordable Health Care for America Act (or HR 3962) was a bill that was crafted by the United States House of Representatives in November 2009. It never became law as originally drafted. At the encouragement of the Obama administration, the 111th Congress devoted much of its time to enacting reform of the United States' health care system.
