Affordable Care Act — The Largest Expansion of Health Coverage in Decades

The Affordable Care Act extended health insurance to an estimated 20 million previously uninsured Americans, banned insurers from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions, and allowed young adults to remain on a parent's plan until age 26 — the most significant expansion of the US healthcare safety net since Medicare and Medicaid in 1965.
