who came up with the affordable care act
Affordable Health Care for America Act The Affordable Health Care for America Act (or HR 3962)[1] was a bill that was crafted by the United States House of Representatives in October 29th of 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. Known as the "House bill", HR 3962 was the House of Representatives' chief legislative proposal during the health reform debate.
Health insurance in the United States The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 effectively repealed the individual mandate, meaning that individuals will no longer be penalized for failing to maintain health coverage starting in 2019.[18] The CBO projects that this change will result in four million more uninsured by 2019, 13 million more by 2027.[18]
