Affordable care:
Act for the vulnerable.
Will you endure yet?
New research reveals the broadly positive impact of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Obamacare).
McKenna et al (2018) used data from 2011 to 2016 and found that, whilst not perfect, the Affordable Care Act reduced the financial strain of healthcare and increased access and utilisation to healthcare for low- and middle-income adults. In particular, those that benefit most are those making an income of twice the poverty-line designation or below.
